Looking to eat more local food this season? Whether you’re filling your fridge, planning a special event, or just want to know where your food comes from, we’ve got the tools to help you make it happen with ease and confidence.
Our KC Food Circle Member Directory and Eat Local Map are your go-to guides for connecting with the farmers, businesses, and community organizations who are rooted in our regional food system. These tools make it easy to find local food, support local producers, and align your spending with values that prioritize health, community, environment and economy.
What’s in the Member Directory?
Our Member Directory spotlights every KC Food Circle member, farmers, food businesses, and partner organizations, who operate within a 120-mile radius of Kansas City.
Here’s what makes it special:
- Farmers in our directory pledge to uphold high standards for growing produce and mushrooms, beekeeping, and raising animals with care and integrity.
- Businesses listed are committed to sourcing locally, helping keep your food dollars circulating in our local economy.
- Partner organizations are focused on local food systems, sustainable practices, and equitable access to healthy, nutritious food.
Each listing includes helpful information about what each member offers, how to connect, and where to find them.
What’s Listed?
We designed our directory to be user friendly and with built-in search filters, you can easily browse by product, farm, business type and location.
You’ll find:
- CSA sign-ups (get a weekly box of farm-fresh goodies!)
- Fresh produce (veggies, fruits, herbs, and more)
- Meat & dairy from local farms
- Baked goods, ferments and other value added items

What’s the Eat Local Map?
Our Eat Local Map works hand-in-hand with the directory to help you visually explore where these amazing farmers and businesses are located. It’s a simple way to plan a weekend market visit, discover a new farm stand near your neighborhood, or even map out your next local food road trip. The map includes our member farmers and businesses, but also has an expanded list of grocery stores, restaurants, and other retail outlets who are sourcing locally from area farmers.
