The Kuna Farmers Market growers have an extensive variety of produce for this season. Here is a list of vegetables, fruits, and herbs that are found in their gardens and the approximate timing for finding the items at the Market. The diversity is even greater than this list shows as each grower selects their favorite varieties and experiments with a few different types each year.

If you are looking for a specific item or have questions, check with any of the Market vendors or call Cheryl McCord at 922-5113. The Market hours are 9 am to noon. The Market location is at Sandstone Plaza at the west end of Main Street.
