Just a reminder that our vendors meeting for the 2012 season is tonight. We will meet at the old courthouse on the square in Harrisonville on the third floor at 6:30 pm. Coffee and tea will be provided … feel free to bring a snack to share!
If you haven’t submitted your Vendor Application yet, you may bring it tonight to hand in to the committee. We will be discussing the market rules, look at the map of the vendor spaces and answer any questions you may have.
See you tonight!
Our vendors meeting for the 2012 season will be held at the Cass County Courthouse meeting room at 6:30pm on April 25th. All registered and prospective vendors are encouraged to attend.
We will be reviewing the rules of the market, touch on health department regulations, discuss possibilities of vendor demonstrations at the market, raffle ideas, vendor participation and other items.
Coffee and water will be provided. Please bring a finger food to share with the attendees.
You may mail your Vendor Application by April 1st to guarantee participation at the market. You can also wait and bring your registration with you to the meeting. Feel free to spread the word to those you think may be interested in participating this year.
Hope to see you there!
Come join us for the second season of our market. This year we have some exciting changes, including a brand-new location.
The market will be held each Saturday from 8am to noon (or sell-out, whichever is later) beginning May 19th and running through October 27th. We will again be a combination of produce and art vendors.
Our new location is behind the Peculiar Lions Club Community Building on Shug Avenue in Peculiar. This area is visible from both 71 Hwy and J Hwy and should give our market more exposure and more customers!
We sincerely hope you will join us for another successful season. For more information about becoming a vendor, please check out our Join Us page.
We love to see people using reusable shopping bags … it’s something we encourage at our market! But this inspirational local couple have taken it more than one step further and are living virtually waste free!
The curious stares begin in the parking lot for Zach Noland and Meghan Sundermeier. Plenty of after-work shoppers head into Whole Foods at 91st Street and Metcalf Avenue in Overland Park with reusable sacks draped on their arms; it’s part of the health-food-store uniform. But nobody else needs a double-decker shopping cart to transport the containers they are taking into the store. One by one, Noland and Sundermeier place glass-lidded jars, cotton bags, canvas totes and a chrome compost pail (there’s a collection barrel in the store) into the cart and rattle it across the asphalt.
Inside the store, more inquisitive glances as Sundermeier holds a cotton sack up to catch a stream of lentils from the mouth of the bulk dispenser. From her purse, the waifish communications specialist for Kansas City Public Schools extracts a paper-wrapped twist tie she has saved from previous visits.
If you’ve been here before you’ll notice we’ve changed our website a little bit. We’re hoping this new layout will make it easier for us to keep you up-to-date on the latest happenings with our little market. Browse through the tag cloud at the right to look for specific topics, or search for posts by month. Either way, check back frequently as we update you on all the wonderful things going on around the Peculiar Farmers’ & Artisans’ Market!
