The board members and vendors of the Emporia
Farmers Market would like to thank the Emil Babinger
Charitable Foundation for making a fourth season of
Indoor Winter Markets possible. The market became
one of the first year-round farmers markets in the state
of Kansas in 2010 and has been able to hold twice
per month, indoor markets through the winter season
since November 2011.
Indoor Winter Markets currently take place at the
Emporia Humanitarian Center, 215 W. 6th Ave., on
first and third Saturdays, from 10am till noon. The
final markets of the indoor season will take place on
Saturday, April 5, with live music by Jane McCoy.
Saturday, April 19, live music will be provided by Ben
Stallings.
On Saturday, April 26, market vendors will kick
off the summer season at the Flint Hills Sustainability
Fair at Flint Hills Technical College, 3301 West 18th
Avenue. K-State specialists will be speaking on the hour
about a variety of topics related to growing. Enjoy
Earth Day events and visit with a variety of businesses
and organizations from the region to learn what you
can do to be more green! The fair is a free community
event, all ages welcome, and will be open from 9am
till 2pm.
The Emporia Farmers Market will return weekly to
