Farmers market debuts in Holts Summit on Saturday

The first farmers market in Holts Summit will debut at 1:30 p.m. Saturday at Hibernia Park, next to the Holts Summit City Hall on South Summit Drive.

City Administrator Brian Crane said the farmers market is the result of several people asking for such a market but there were problems finding a location and an organization to sponsor the market.

Crane said after the city purchased a building and large parking lot next to the Holts Summit City Hall, the Board of Aldermen decided to host the farmers market at Hibernia Park next to City Hall.

"We have more parking available now that would be close to the farmers market," Crane said.
