Do you value locally grown goods from the Lenexa Farmers Market and the social spirit of the Lenexa Public Market? Our two culinary gems are collaborating again for Farm to Fork. Explore farm-fresh ingredients on your favorite dishes — and a few specialty menu offerings — at the Public Market over six weeks. The summer season is when produce is at its most abundant.

How it works

Each week in July, Public Market merchants will debut new/returning menu items. These will feature fresh, high-quality ingredients from the Lenexa Farmers Market vendors. The special menu items will be available for the next two weeks, while supplies last.

Merchant hours vary: Each merchant sets their own hours, which often differ from the Public Market's facility hours. Check merchant hours before you visit to see if the restaurant you want to eat at will be open. If you're interested in purchasing any ingredients used in these dishes, visit Lenexa.com/FarmersMarket to see when that vendor will be at the Farmers Market.

Meet the managers
