Jamesport is home to the North Missouri Produce Auction. This is the place to come buy or sell farm fresh
produce, bedding plants, pumpkins, fall decorations, potted mums and natural grown produce. The North Missouri Produce Auction is a partnership owned by a number of local shareholders who constructed a new facility in Jamesport for the purpose of selling produce. Perishable crops are picked just hours before the sale.
This auction is directed to wholesale buyers, such as grocery stores and farm markets, but anyone who can use produce in boxes or flat lots for canning, etc. is welcome to buy.
The auction will run from April 3, 2009 - October 23, 2009. Here is the calendar for 2009:
