Three Trails Farmer’s Market coming to KC: ‘We hope to nourish the neighborhood’

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KCTV) - A new monthly farmer’s market coming to KC promises to bring fresh fruits, vegetables and other goods to the surrounding neighborhoods.

The Three Trails Farmer’s Market is a new initiative that aims to bring community involvement and connection to the Hickman Mills and Ruskin Heights area.

The Optimist Bingo Hall, located in the Ruskin Heights Shopping Center, will host the market on Saturdays, starting August 17.

In addition to fresh food, there will be entertainment for families and community resource booths.

The market’s organizers say they hope the event will increase community involvement and connection.

“We found that a lot of people in our area are really struggling with bread and butter issues, and so it’s hard to look beyond and have further goals when you’re really just trying to eat well,” Angela Clardy-Forder said. “So we really hope to nourish the neighborhood.”
