Columbia Farmers Market

Eat Seasonally

Shopping at the farmers market is a great way to connect with your community, nature, and the changing seasons. Eating seasonal provides you and your family with food that is fresher and more nutritious. By shopping at the farmers market, you can help support local farmers and their families and vastly reduce the distance food travels from the farm to your table.

While the chart below provides a guideline for seasonally available produce in mid-Missouri, offerings will vary depending on the growing season. You’ll find many fall and winter crops available outside of the ranges listed below.  With the use of high tunnels, greenhouses, ground cover, and storing techniques our farmers are able to expand their growing seasons and product offerings!
