​I randomly visited the Lenexa Sprouts location for the first time since it opened. I used to live…read moreright behind this lot before the store was built, and what an upgrade! I wish it was around when I was living in the area. I would definitely be a regular customer! I visited on a quiet Tuesday afternoon, and the store was organized, neat, and easy to navigate, which was a lovely start. ​I had two main items on my mission: grabbing the Back to Nature Peanut Butter Creme Crackers (a snack I became obsessed with after a trip to New York!) and picking up a specific protein powder for my mom, which was on a great Buy One, Get One 50% Off deal. ​However, the real highlight was the service, thanks to Dahlia, a head cashier employee who stopped to help us. Dahlia was incredibly kind and went above and beyond. She walked us through the free rewards program, explaining not only how to find coupons but also detailing a huge deal: if you buy $100 or more in health & beauty products (including that protein powder!) within a three-month span, you will be able to get 30% off your next purchase. She explained that the purchases history for this deal resets after the three months are up. ​She even took the time to offer personalized recommendations, sharing her own experience with thinning and oily hair and suggesting specific shampoo and conditioner products for me to try. After Dahlia helped me with the rewards sign-up, I checked out with a different cashier. This cashier was also super nice; she knew I was setting up the account and proactively made sure I either entered my phone number or had my rewards barcode scanned before I paid, guaranteeing I got my points for that trip. ​The service didn't end there! I had a $3 off coupon for the protein powder that wouldn't go through due to the store's poor cell service/Wi-Fi connection. Dahlia, without hesitation, simply gave me $3 back in cash to honor the coupon deal--that is truly above and beyond customer service. ​I highly recommend this location! The product selection is great, and the atmosphere is pleasant, but the staff--especially Dahlia--is what makes this store shine.

Pam also has different crafts that she hand makes. I bought a purse she made for my niece about 2yrs back. My niece loved it! I also look for Hammerschmidt's Farm Stand for their bakings. I've had her mini pies and breads before and loved them. This time I got a mini dutch apple pie and a jar of gumbo rice soup. We like everything we've gotten before. This is a decent sized farmer's market that has vendors that have fresh produce, arts and crafts, local honey, woodworking stuff, and sometimes plants and flowers. They welcome pets on a leash. You gotta come and see for yourselves. A Hui Hou!!

There's always plenty of parking and the people are really friendly. FPO and I come here for a few things. There's a vegan baker who does some pretty good scones. But, by far our favorite booth is Treasures of Tayside (named for the River Tay, the longest river in Scotland). She makes the most amazing shortbread cookies. I think she said it's a recipe most similar to what you'd find in Glasgow. Lol, we'll put it on the calendar to go there for her cookies. She sells them in little ziplock bags, 4 to a bag. I think it's like, $1.50 a bag. I'm not sure. I see her booth, my eyes glaze over and the next thing I know, there's half a dozen little bags in my hand and I'm headed back to my car. If I'm going there for fruits or vegetables, or something else in particular I have make sure I get those first or they get lost in the shortbread cookie haze.

They sell a variety of jams spice mixes, candies, and bottled sodas, along with fresh made sandwiches and pre made pastries. I noticed they have a lot of Amish made items there. The people were very nice, very friendly. It was lunchtime and we got some fresh chili (served for a few hours, 11-1, I think) and we also got some cinnamon rolls with maple frosting. It was all so good! If you're in the area, you should check them out.

We arrived early to beat the crowds, and it was definitely worth it. Parking seems much improved thanks to expanded lots and additional street parking throughout the surrounding area. The busiest stop by far was Nitchals Farm, where nearly 25 people were already lined up at 7:30 a.m. waiting for homegrown tomatoes and fresh produce. Not wanting to miss out (a little FOMO never hurts!), we joined the line ourselves. While we waited, several people couldn't stop talking about how good their tomatoes are, so it felt like we made the right choice. Another favorite was Bazaar Spice, which offers an impressive selection of spices available by the scoop or in bottles. We picked up two bottles for $15 and chose the Italian Blend and Salsa Blend, both of which smelled amazing. Every vendor we visited was welcoming and friendly, and there was an incredible variety of high-quality products throughout the market. It's easy to see why this has become such a popular community destination. We're already looking forward to making it part of our weekly summer routine. A few tips: - Arrive early for the best selection, especially if you're hoping to grab fresh tomatoes. - Bring a few large reusable shopping bags--you'll likely leave with more than you planned! Current Market Hours - Saturdays: 7:30 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. (April 18 - September 26) - Wednesdays: 7:30 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. (June 3 - September 2) - Fall Saturdays: 8:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. (October 3 - November 21)
