@kcur893 Farmers market season in Kansas City has begun — and you can get prizes for visiting new ones. No, this “passport’ won’t get you across the border, but it can help connect you to over 20 different farmers markets across the Kansas City metro this summer. The Kansas City Farmers Market Passport, a collaboration between the Ivanhoe Neighborhood Council and Cultivate KC, is bigger than ever for 2026. It’s meant to help connect local residents to affordable fresh produce, offer resources for navigating markets, and educate people on how to support the local urban farming scene. You can pick up your passport at any of the 20 farmers markets around the metro, several Kansas City Public Library branches, and other locations. KCUR’s Zach Perez breaks down what to expect in the passport and why urban farmers need the boost this year. 📹Hosted and produced by Zach Perez 🖥️Filmed and edited by Gabe Rosenberg #kansascity #farmersmarket #urbanfarming ♬ original sound - KCUR - Kansas City
