Buckeye Acres Farmers' Market

SNAP / EBT is accepted for eligible products at Buckeye Acres' farm store, a practical detail that sets this market apart for shoppers planning a produce run near Warrensburg. The market operates out at 91 NE 600 Road, about 5 miles north of town just off Highway 13, linking a farm setting with a short drive from Warrensburg. Buckeye Acres is also a long-running family farm operation that has been in business since 1982, giving the market a direct tie to the farm behind the produce and goods sold here.

Why it matters locally

Buckeye Acres traces its farm operation to 1982, when Jim and Jeanne Counts started it, and that long timeline is part of what gives this market its local footing. The farm later transitioned to Buck and Heather in the fall of 2009, showing continuity across generations rather than a short-lived seasonal stand.

The market's local value also comes from how directly it connects shoppers to the farm itself. Its CSA explains that produce comes directly from the farm to the customer so buyers know who is growing their food and how it is raised. That same farm-store setup matters for access too, since SNAP / EBT is accepted there for eligible products, including seasonal produce and u-pick fruits.

What you'll find there

The mix here leans on Buckeye Acres' own produce and pantry staples, then widens into cheese, honey, prepared mixes, drinks, and handmade goods from named vendors. It reads less like a single-category stop and more like a farm store assortment built around food first, with a few craft tables folded in.

• -Pick up farm fresh produce, farm-raised meats, jams and jellies, cheese, honey, and other items from Buckeye Acres Produce LLC.

The farm's broader crop list points to a changing produce selection across the season, including lettuce, spinach, asparagus, strawberries, tomatoes, sweet corn, kale, bok choy, snow peas, okra, potatoes, and blackberries.

An opening day event tied to the Warrensburg Farmers' Market is listed for May 3 around the downtown Courthouse, with hours of 8 am to noon. Buckeye Acres' strongest thread is the way a long-running farm identity carries into the shopping experience. The farm has been in business since 1982 and describes itself as a family run operation centered on farm fresh produce. That history is paired with working-farm details rather than abstract branding: the produce selection changes with the season, the farm offers u-pick fruits, and SNAP / EBT can be used at the store for eligible products. One visitor singled out hand pressed apple cider and pumpkin donuts, a detail that fits the agritourism side of the farm without overshadowing its produce base.

Know before you go

SNAP / EBT is accepted at the farm store for eligible products, but not at the downtown farmers market, so that distinction can affect where you choose to shop. The farm is approximately 5 miles north of Warrensburg just off Highway 13; directions note traveling north out of Warrensburg on Highway 13, turning east on 600 Road, then continuing 1 mile down a gravel road. Dogs are not allowed, and restrooms are not available, two practical details to factor into a longer visit.

Payments & SNAP

Buckeye Acres accepts SNAP / EBT payments for eligible products at its farm store location. The farm notes that seasonal produce, including u-pick fruits, is eligible, but SNAP benefits are not accepted at the downtown farmers market setup.
