Lenexa closes first farmers market season with holiday market

Now that Lenexa has wrapped up its first farmers market season, the city is closing the year with its first holiday farmers market.

Jenny Doty, recreation supervisor who is coordinating the holiday farmers markets, said all of the vendors at the holiday farmers market are based within 250 miles of Lenexa. Many of Lenexa’s market vendors produce into the winter, so the holiday farmers market provides a space for them to continue selling, Doty added.

“A lot of them will have product year-round, especially if you’re a meat vendor or a cheese vendor; pecans are just coming into the market again,” Doty said. “We might not have certain produce items always available, but those farmers still need an opportunity to be able to sell their great products to the people that love them.”
