Overland Farmers Market Opens for 11th Season on Saturday May 12

Overland, Missouri…The Overland Farmers Market opens for its eleventh season on Saturday, May 12 in a pavilion featuring 24 stalls with local vendors offering fresh produce, grass-fed beef, sweet Missouri honey and fresh bakery goods, plus original arts, crafts and music.

The first 25 women who attend will be given free flowers in honor of Mother’s Day, Sunday, May 13.

The Market will be open from 8:00 a.m. to 12:30 pm at 2512 Woodson Road near Erickson Plaza, about one mile north of Page Avenue.

“We’re well known for fresh, locally grown produce, home-made bakery goods and merchandise you can’t find anywhere else,” said Richard A. Kilzer, president of the Overland Farmers Market Board of Directors.

“We’ll celebrate Mother’s Day Weekend with beautiful displays of fresh flowers and plants by local vendors.”

“Opening Day at the Overland Farmers Market is perfect for finding a Mother’s Day gift for loved ones.”

“Our covered pavilion makes our market more accommodating for visitors and vendors,” Kilzer added.

“Visitors can park beside the pavilion in a free parking lot, and vendors can load and unload their goods easily by backing up next to their covered stall, all of which have electricity,” Kilzer said.

The Overland Farmers Market is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization managed by volunteers and supported by sponsors including individuals, merchants and the City of Overland. Admission is free.

The market will be open every Saturday morning through late October this year. For information or to become a sponsor, call 314 769 6360 or visit http://www.overlandfarmersmarket.com/.
