Central Missouri Produce Auction, Inc, is a corporation owned by 28 shareholders, mostly growers. In the spring of 1994, we constructed a new auction facility for the purpose of selling produce, providing a market for interested growers along with a source of fresh produce. Perishable crops are picked just hours before the sale.

The auction is directed to wholesale buyers, such as stores, roadside stands, farm markets, etc. But anyone that can use produce for canning, freezing, etc is welcome to buy. There are always some small lots.

The idea of selling produce at auction was formed by several local growers who realized a need for a central point for growers and buyers to gather. Also, they had observed the huge success of four similar auctions among the Mennonite and Amish communities in Eastern Pennsylvania.

Our Mission to the Buyer is to provide first class service along with a premium quality product.

Our Mission to the Grower is to provide a dependable wholsale outlet for the local producers of the horticulture commodities.
