Combine an eclectic group of restaurants, shops, cafes, and the Arabia Steamboat Museum with a unique open-air setting, seven different languages and cultures, and 150 years of tradition. Over 30 City Market Merchants offer a variety of fresh produce, meats, seafood, specialty and prepared foods, flowers and gifts items from across the world, including the Americas, Europe, the Middle and Far East. The City Market is open year round, seven days per week.

Our society has become far removed from the people who produce our food. Take the opportunity to ask your farmer or vendor for suggestions on ways to best to enjoy the local bounty.

What should you ask?

  • How should I store the produce to keep it fresh and full of flavor?

  • Do you have any suggestions for cleaning and preparation?

  • How much longer will this crop be in season?

  • What unusual products will you be bringing to the Farmers' Market in the coming weeks?

You will leave the City Market with the knowledge you need to fully enjoy your fresh produce and look forward to next week.



The City Market needs volunteers to help in a variety of ways .

Please email Stephanie Ornburn or call our Managment Office to learn more about volunteer opportunities.



Global Produce

As the farmers’ market brings us closer to the farm, we can begin to understand the uncertainties of food production. What are some surprises that you might expect?

  • Particular products and crops may come and go at the City Market quite quickly. If you see something at the Market this week, now is the time to buy it! Be sure to ask; it may be on its way out of season.

  • Available quantities will change weekly. A sudden burst of warm weather may bring in a bumper crop this week and a cool or rainy spell could delay harvest of your favorite products. Just as quantities will vary, so will prices.

  • Prices at the City Market are set by supply and demand. Take advantage of specials and over-abundant crops.
