FARMERS MARKETS · JEFFERSON CITY

Where to buy it straight from the grower

Jefferson City has 3 farmers markets, and between them there is one on most days of the week. This page is the standing shape of each — which days, what hours, where. For a specific date, the calendar carries them all.

Cole County Farmers Market

In the Capital Mall parking lot, 3600 Country Club Dr, Jefferson City, MO, 65109. Where that is →

Tuesday: 4–6pm
Friday: 4–6pm
Saturday: 2–4pm

Running now, through the end of October

Producer-only: everything sold is grown or made by the person selling it. Vendors come from Cole County or a county touching it.

Running since 1992. Not the same market as Lincoln University's, and not the market the name 'Capital City Farmers Market' belongs to — that one is a different market again.

Phone (573) 893-5323

Evening Farmers Market

In the River Market Pavilion, 160 N Chestnut St, Jefferson City, MO, 65101.

Tuesday: 4–7pm

Weekly, and brand new

Local growers and producers, indoors and out. Produce, eggs, meat, baked goods, and makers alongside them.

Run by JC Parks at the new River Market Pavilion, which opened at the start of September 2026. The vendor list changes week to week — members are regulars, and others buy a day stall.
