The sheer proliferation of farmers markets in Kansas City means that in the right season, you can buy organic produce directly from a farmer almost every day of the week. Every second Tuesday through October 10, from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m., the Crown Center Farmers Market (2450 Grand, 816-274-8444) offers shoppers an alternative to industrially farmed conventional produce — as well as a reduced carbon footprint. Vendors offer vegetables, honey, meat, eggs and many other locally produced goods. For more information, see crown center.com.
Tuesdays. Starts: June 3. Continues through Oct. 10, 2008
