Shop Kansas Farms will hold its third Market of Farms on April 29 in Lyons featuring farmers and ranchers from across the state selling homegrown beef, pork, poultry, eggs, honey, jams, jellies and more.
“We’re excited to return to the site of our first-ever Market of Farms and celebrate the third anniversary of Shop Kansas Farms’ founding,” says Rick McNary, SKF founder. “Last year more than 1,400 people showed up to meet the people who produce their food, and we’re expecting another great turnout this year.”
The Market of Farms will be from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Celebration Centre and Bar K Bar Arena, 1145 East U.S. 56, in Lyons.

“We are incredibly blessed to have a network of farmers and ranchers through Shop Kansas Farms,” Megan Gilliland, owner of Next to Nature Farm, says. “Connecting with consumers and producers is helpful for us as we grow our business in Kansas and the region.”
