C Street Market

C Street Market is a farmers market serving the Springfield area in Missouri, offering shoppers direct access to locally grown produce and handcrafted goods from regional vendors.

Open Sat:8:00 AM - 1:00 PM, April to October, the market welcomes shoppers throughout the season. Schedules may shift around holidays — check ahead.

C Street Market features Vegetables and Fruits from local producers. What's available depends on the season and which vendors attend each week.

What makes C Street Market worth visiting is not just the products available — it is the context those products come with. Each vendor at the market has a story: which farm they operate, how long they have been growing, what they specialize in, and what is coming next week. That knowledge is freely shared at a farmers market in a way that never happens in a conventional grocery setting.

Seasonality shapes everything at C Street Market. Unlike a supermarket that stocks tomatoes in January, farmers markets are honest about what is actually ripe. What you find at C Street Market today reflects what the farms in the Springfield region are currently producing — nothing more, nothing less. This connection to the actual growing season is something that many regular market shoppers come to value deeply.

C Street Market also serves as a gathering point for the Springfield community. Regular shoppers often describe the market as much a social outing as a grocery run. Familiar faces, known vendors, and the rhythm of a weekly market create a kind of community continuity that is increasingly rare. For many families, a Saturday morning at C Street Market is as much about being part of the neighborhood as it is about what ends up in the bag.

C Street Market contributes to Springfield's food ecosystem by offering an alternative to large grocery chains — one where shoppers know exactly where their food comes from.
