I really wanted to give this a 5 star review. I’m a long time LS resident and my daughter and I both love farmer’s markets, but sadly it was very disappointing. We went the weekend of the big opening, so hopefully it will get better and they are just working out the kinks. The space is beautiful and you can tell much work and money was put into it. Little kids would enjoy the playground area. The inside resembles all of the new modern churches, and doesn’t really feel like a market, but is a nice building. The vendors are where it is really lacking as of right now. We are regulars at the KC River Market, and were hoping for a smaller version closer to home. Unfortunately you simply can’t compare the two. There is no diversity at the Green Street Market, which is typical for LS, but disappointing. The only places to eat were food trucks that I don’t believe will be there on a regular basis and there was a vast lack of farmer produce. The booths were mostly just people selling random products, insurance, whatever they wanted to get out there. It felt more like the booths at downtown LS days than a farmers market. Prices were considerably higher than the River Market and there was a strange mix of noise from the “street performers” all trying to play over each other. I love that our little city is growing and downtown LS has become fantastic, but this for us, was a miss. We left after a short while and went to the KC River Market to get the real experience. Hopefully with a little time it will get better.
