Edmond Farmer’s Market

For many local families, a Saturday morning grocery-shopping trip to the Edmond Farmer’s Market is a cherished tradition. This year’s outdoor market opens April 20. As always, it will offer many chances to share the joy of local foods across the generations.

Involving Kids and Families

Interactions between farmers and shoppers of all ages are at the heart of the Farmer’s Market. “It’s wonderful to watch a seasoned farmer kneel down and talk to a kid about how to grow a potato,” says director Emily Harmon. Some vendors bring their children or grandchildren along, making the market a true multi-generational adventure.

Young shoppers can discover locally made treats like cotton candy and colorful lollipops. They can see a fresh watermelon being cut open and learn about new foods like microgreens and kale. This year’s market also includes more food trucks and ready-to-eat foods for families to enjoy. 

Celebrating Growth and Community

The Farmer’s Market experience doesn’t end when customers take home their groceries. This year, Emily and her team are introducing Monday social media videos to give busy families ideas for preparing their farm-fresh groceries. “We’re looking to create more interactions with the community,” says Emily.

The Farmer’s Market is free to the public, with a mix of beloved longtime vendors and new faces this year. More than half the vendors live in the Edmond city limits, and they’re deeply invested in the community. 

“We’re very proud of what’s been accomplished so far,” says Emily. “We’re excited about the future and what the Farmer’s Market can become.” 

The outdoor Edmond Farmer’s Market will be open Saturdays from 8:00-1:00 beginning April 20 at Festival Marketplace, 26 W. First Street. The outdoor Midweek Market runs from June 3-August 28, Wednesdays from 8:00-1:00 in Mitch Park, 2733 Marilyn Williams Drive. Learn more at edmondok.gov/365/Farmers-Market.
