CARTHAGE, Mo. — The ROOT 66 Carthage Farmers Market is excited to announce its Grand Opening on May 2, celebrating both the official start of the 2026 season and a major upgrade with their move into a new covered pavilion, at 122 Grant Street in Carthage.

The Carthage Farmers Market brings together local farmers, makers, and small businesses, offering fresh produce, handmade goods, and a vibrant community atmosphere.
