Winterflakes 5k

February 28, 2026 at 8 AM

The Winter Flakes Race is a local race with a lot of options. First, a disclaimer: we provide volunteers with hand warmers because the race is almost always cold. We’re a little crazy about the cold, but we like it that way. We’ll be starting and ending at Walther Park. The route will be a scenic run to the Arlington and back followed by an after party at the park.

De Soto Farmers Market

More Details Coming Soon

Nationally Recognized Farmer’s Market!

As a local community organization, De Soto Farmers Market feels proud and blessed to be awarded #8 in the nation, #1 in the region and #1 in Missouri by the American Farmland Trust “2025 America’s Farmers Market Celebration”. We strive to provide healthy local options to our community and to create a family among our customers, vendors and volunteers. We could not have achieved this amazing recognition without each person that is a part of the De Soto Farmers Market Family. Winning this award means that we can provide more opportunities for our community to learn about and access healthier choices for them and their families.

We also are pleased to be voted best Farmers’ Market in Jefferson County in the 2025 Best Of Contest held by the Leader newspaper. We appreciate all the support of our community!

Many things can influence a child, including friends, teachers, and the things they see when they sit in front of the TV or computer. If you’re a parent, know that your everyday behavior plays a big part in shaping your child’s behavior, too. With your help, kids can learn to develop healthy eating and physical activity habits that last throughout their lives.
