Des Moines' Downtown Farmers’ Market

Best Farmers Market in Iowa! There are hundreds of vendors selling any and everything from food to wine to home goods. The Downtown Des Moines Farmer's Market is always a good time.

PERFECTION! What a great way to showcase local food & farms! We loved starting our Saturday off at 7am here!

Love it. Can't wait for next Saturday. Get there early.

We’re traveling from Ohio and happened to be in town for today’s market. We had a wonderful time and spent hours visiting the booths. My husband and my puppy rated it a 5 out of 5. 😃

I love the Des Moines Downtown Farmers Market. I go every Saturday that I am able to, whether I plan on buying something or not. I have enjoyed getting a freshly made Sourdough every week, have found some delicious honey that reminds me of the Fynbos honey I get back home, as well as some lovely baked goods, fresh vegetables and there are always beautiful flowers to see to. Very sad this is ending soon, I believe it runs till the end of October and then closes for Winter.

A+ venue for 3 adults pushing a baby in a stroller. People friendly place. I sampled Jicama. Later I tried a cold brew latte. Many vendors. Come hungry: numerous food options. Dog friendly. I found restroom access at a corner bar open for business.

Top 2 things to do on a summer Saturday in Des Moines ! Lots of diversity in food, local products and music. Make sure you get a good breakfast sandwich. I took it to go for lunch and go early before it gets too crowded. Visiting from MA sorry I’m missing the state fair.

What a wonderful experience today. Tons of vendors from flowers to bakery goods to German Brat’s to soap’s. Also multiple live music musicians on multiple street corners. So much stuff.
