For Vendors

The Overland Park Farmers’ Market is more than a collection of farm, food and specialty vendors. It’s a community of growers, makers and leaders supporting one another and providing a unique experience to more than 200,000 visitors each year.

Vendors applying for booth space at the Overland Park Farmers’ Market must sell farm fresh products and/or artisan foods. The Overland Park Farmers’ Market does not accept vendors selling arts and crafts, clothing, jewelry or franchise products or organizations seeking to reserve a booth for informational purposes only.

Market Philosophy

The Overland Park Farmers’ Market is an essential community resource that connects shoppers to a wide variety of products provided by local farmers and small business owners.

By permitting the consumer to buy directly from growers and producers, the market promotes a culture of stewardship and commitment that supports the economic vitality of both Downtown Overland Park and the surrounding local food system.

This vibrant public gathering place celebrates diversity through the collaboration of its vendors, shoppers and staff who bring their unique identities, passion and purpose to the market experience. The OPFM empowers all patrons through its ongoing dedication to accessibility and education.

The market remains committed to vendors who strive for excellence, integrity, and sustainability while keeping local food at the forefront. Products are thoughtfully curated to meet market demands, align with OPFM culture, and evolve alongside a growing customer base.

Vendor Types

Farmers’ Market staff categorize vendors into three groups, based on the products vendors sell.

The primary emphasis of the Overland Park Farmers’ Market is on farm fresh products. When accepting applicants, Market staff prioritize farm vendors over food vendors, and food vendors over and specialty vendors. Farm and food vendors also have priority for spaces under the Market pavilion.
