Founded with the mission to provide a community gathering place, the Emporia Farmers Market has become a staple in the local community, offering a venue for farmers, gardeners, and artisans to sell their products. Over the years, it has grown to support local vendors and foster economic development in Downtown Emporia.

The market emphasizes the importance of nutrition and good health by providing access to fresh, high-quality seasonal produce. It supports local farmers and vendors in developing sustainable business opportunities, thereby contributing to the local economy and community well-being.

The market operates on Saturdays from May through October and on Wednesdays from mid-June through October in the parking lot at 7th & Merchant. During the winter months, it moves indoors to the Emporia Humanitarian Center, operating on the 1st and 3rd Saturdays from November through April.
