June is one of the most exciting times of the year at the Emporia Farmers Market.


The growing season is in full swing, vendor booths are filling with fresh products, and downtown comes alive each Saturday morning with the sights, sounds, and flavors of summer.


Whether you're a longtime market shopper or planning your first visit, June is the perfect time to experience everything the market has to offer.


What's Fresh This Month?

As Kansas gardens and fields begin producing in abundance, shoppers can expect to find a growing selection of seasonal favorites, including:

  • Lettuce and leafy greens

  • Radishes

  • Green onions

  • Fresh herbs

  • Strawberries

  • Early summer squash

  • Cucumbers

  • Local honey

  • Farm-fresh eggs


Availability varies from week to week, which is part of the fun of shopping local and seasonal.


Beautiful Blooms Are Back

June also brings an explosion of color to the market.


Local flower growers are filling their booths with fresh-cut bouquets featuring sunflowers, zinnias, snapdragons, and other seasonal favorites. Whether you're looking for a centerpiece for your kitchen table or a gift for someone special, you'll find plenty of beautiful options from local growers.


Meet the Makers

The Emporia Farmers Market is about more than fresh food.


June is a great time to explore handmade products created by local artisans, including:

  • Jewelry

  • Woodworking

  • Soaps

  • Fiber arts

  • Specialty foods


Every purchase helps support a local entrepreneur and strengthens our community.


Make a Morning of It

One of the best things about market day is the opportunity to spend time downtown.


Many visitors pair their market trip with:

  • Breakfast or coffee at a local café

  • Shopping at downtown businesses

  • Visiting local attractions

  • Meeting friends and neighbors


The market isn't just a place to shop—it's a place to connect.


Plan Your Visit

June is one of the busiest and most beautiful times of the market season, so arrive early for the best selection and bring a reusable shopping bag.


We can't wait to see you downtown this month as we celebrate local food, local businesses, and community connection.


See you at the market!
