Of course, it's wonderful in the summer, but I was surprised at how busy the pavilion was, even in the winter. Multiple baked goods, hydroponic gardening, and meat booths to choose from. Great as always!

I absolutely love the OP Farmer's Market! From the food to the vegetables, flowers, pies, lavender truck and goodies this is a perfect place to spend a Saturday morning. All of the vendors are so nice and lots of great shopping!

The farmers market in Kansas.Unless you can drive out to Wisconsin for one of those markets there, this is the one to go to here in the metro area.Fresh donuts from Mr D’s.Lots of fresh bread and other bakery items abound.Great for the selection of fresh meats to!From WAGYU beef to grain fed beef and chicken and right down to some really cool burger and brat patty selections that can be found at some of the sellers here, you can’t go wrong.During the summer, this is where to go to get all the BEST produce in the area.Plenty of stalls offer fresh eggs too!If you’ve never had farm fresh free range chicken eggs, you e been missing out!Go check it out sometime. Just remember the late fall and early winter months will be a little more scarce in sellers.

Wonderful assortment of vendors from tea, spices, hot sauce, produce, flours, meat, and much more! Be aware that not all vendors accept debit/credit and may have a minimum purchase to do so.

So many vendors, so many varieties of goodies so colorful! Wonderful morning outing to shop local goodies- fruits, vegetables, honey, baked goods, spices, coffee, flowers! Live music just perfects the atmosphere.

This is a great farmer's market in Kansas. I started coming here several years ago and every year is different for how often I try to make it to the farmer's market. I like getting my watermelon from here because they are so sweet and taste better than any grocery store watermelon. The seasonal vegetables and fruit are great to get and it's helped me recognize which ones are actually in season. Especially when I go to grocery stores now. I've noticed throughout the years that the farmer's market has gotten increasingly crowded. Especially around the 10-11am. That has made me attempt to come here earlier if I'm wanting something. But it is also weather dependent on how many people choose to come out too. All the vendors have been nice and it's good to see how passionate they are about the items they sell. It's interesting the tomatoes can taste different from vendor to vendor depending on the soil I've noticed. Each vendor contributes something to the farmer's market and I like how they have assigned them in the right place to not make you keep walking to see the same stuff vendor after vendor. The farmer's market is available on Saturdays and Wednesdays. I bet the Wednesday crowd is a lot different than the Saturday crowd. This is a great place to bring your children and make memories!

Oh we love this farmer's market... #1 in the nation! The vendors, staff, and the community surrounding it feels like home. I can think of no better place to go to feel so welcomed. A+++

One of my favorite ways to start a weekend is by visiting a farmer's market, or just any open-air market, and the OP Farmer's Market never disappoints. Whether it is fresh produce in season (think peaches or sweet corn) or local specialties, there is something for everyone. What started as a small endeavor has grown over the 40 years it has been going, recently winning the America's Farmland Trust contest as one of the *best* farmers markets in the country! Parking is somewhat of a free-for-all, but I have never walked more than a 1/4 mile from parking to market. By the time I usually roll up on Saturday, the market is bubbling with activity as the action starts at 7:30 each Saturday from April through September. Luca's Bagels, Yoli Tortilleria, and many other vendors sell their goodies while farmers from all reaches of the area bring what's in season, from early greens to September corn & maters. You can use cash or some booths are ready for cards/electronic payment, or you can buy/gift market tokens. Only drawback is that it's a no dogs/pets allowed (service animals are allowed). I get it, health department and whatever, but I'm a doggo voyeur and I love friendly pups on leashes. The environment probably is better without, but still, pets are social family glue and I love getting mine out - I'll just leave her home when I visit the OP Farmers Market! Often ;)

There's a reason the Downtown OP Farmer's Market was ranked #1 in a national poll... it is really that great! This review will only be about the market, not the vendors, as they deserve their own reviews. We have never had a poor experience with any though! You should be able to find parking within a few blocks of the market. It always pays to get there early in case you're interested in some of the more popular goods. Dogs are not allowed in the vendor areas but there is a nice shaded entrance area where they can hang out with you and listen to some of the live music. Depending on the time of year, you can find fresh fruits and vegetables, honey, soaps, caramels, cheese and meats, handmade goods, plants and herbs for your gardens, mushrooms, baked goods, food trucks, coffee, fresh flowers and more! Don't hesitate to buy something you see one week, there are some "regulars" but not all of the vendors are the same each week. We drop off and pick up a composting bucket there from Compost Collective KC. Restrooms are fairly well maintained and clean, although only two stalls in the women's. It is nice to have a building and not just portables. They also have two informations booths to answer questions you might have about the market. The people working there are a big reason things run smoothly.

First time visiting for years and really surprised by how it's expanded. Probably should be renamed as there seem to be very few farmers selling there. An hour after opening it was packed making it tricky to navigate. Long lines throughout. Lots of booths have no pricing signs but those that do, wow. Not a place to go for a "deal." Won't be a stop for me again. I will be checking to see if there are any true farmers markets around. Update: the Overland Park Farmers Market decided I needed a lesson in what farmers produce. Having grown up on a farm, I'm pretty familiar with all that. It also doesn't change the fact that what I saw there were things like a booth from the Tasteful Olive which is a retail store in Old Downtown Overland Park. Restaurant vendors. Coffee vendors, pretty sure no one in Kansas is producing coffee. My point is simply rename it. Call it Open Air Market or some such to let people know there's going to be a lot besides farm and garden produce.

Very nice artisan market. It could use a lot more produce and the like. It may be early in late May for such, hopefully later.Only one vendor the Memorial Day Saturday.Also. The parking is hideous given the size. It needs to be somewhere where surrounding vendors will allow parking without threat of tow or parking enforcement.Seems tacky to insist on no lot parking on a weekend for most of the professional offices I saw.

My husband and I moved to the KC wanted to go to a farmers market. We heard great things about Overland Park market. Every market that we have been to has allowed dogs (including the River Market near downtown) so we decided to take our dog. We both missed the sign that said no pets allowed (which was our mistake). After stopping at the first booth we saw to grab coffee and the vender said nothing we continued on. However, we were stopped by an older lady that has a badge that said she worked for the market to tell us we were not allowed to have a dog. I apologized and said I did not know that. She continued to prove how right she was by pointing at the sign. It was a very prideful interaction which we were shocked about since we were in Kansas. While I was disappointed to not allows pets after driving 30 minutes when every other market does, I was most disappointed by the interaction by the worker. I am a huge rule follower so I wouldn’t have brought the dog or even continue through if I knew.

I’ve been to Topeka, City, Market, and a few more in Los Angeles, Farmers Market OP is the best in Kansas and Missouri!The woman who started the market is such an angel what a sweetheart !
