KCFC's Featured FARMERS MARKETS in Kansas City
Featured Farmers Markets
(from the KC Food Circle Bulletin Board)
In Kansas City we are fortunate to have access to a number of Farmers Markets that only accept vegetable and fruit farmers who agree to grow using organic methods. Organic growers avoid the use of conventional fertilizers, insecticides, herbicides, and other biocides, and strive to preserve the health of the living soil. In addition, the farmers at these markets who produce meat, eggs, and dairy products agree to avoid the use of synthetic growth promotants such as hormones and subtherapeutic antibiotics. The market listings below are written by representatives of the markets, and the Food Circle, being an all-volunteer organization, is unable to evaluate or certify each market’s standards and practices. For additional information about these issues or to find out what is meant by any particular term in a market listing, please contact the market directly with your questions.

Great Resource. I need to find out how to put a calendar on the main page.

The new calendar is a great addition, Pat, but we would be better served if we could have recurring events run beyond the current 14-day limitation.
(unlimited recurring events *can* be a problem - 240 days would suffice, if possible... otherwise it is a high-maintenance calendar)
Thanks!
Dave
