The market sells a wide range of wares, like the typical knick-knacks, home decor, clothing, etc. The market also sells some rare items, like sports memorabilia, action figures, and NASCAR fan items.

Cox Farm Wichita

Cox Farm is a small rustic outpost selling Jams, Jellies, Honey, Seasoning, and Candes. The folks at Cox Farm have quite the sense of humor — their seasoning are named different variants of ‘good shit, hot shit, and bad shit.’ Incidentally, none of it is ‘shit’ — it’s all good! Also, Cox Farm has converted part of it’s land into a laser tag arena called LaserTown, if you’re interested in a quick game after shopping for honey.

Old Town Farmer's Market
