Des Moines Farmer's Market Begins May 10


Staff members of Rinehart's Farm Fresh Produce offer vegetables and more at the Downtown Farmer's Market. The Market begins May 10.

The fields and farmers have taken a much-needed rest through the winter and now that spring is here it's time to get growing. Mark your calendar - opening day of the Downtown Farmers' Market is Saturday, May 10, 2008, 7 a.m. - noon.

In anticipation of the Downtown Farmers' Market season, our farmers have been busy ordering seeds and growing seedlings. The cold spring and late snow have made preparations a bit of a challenge, but don't worry; when opening day arrives, the market will be ready to go. Market patrons can expect to see nearly 200 vendors from 47 Iowa counties, with farm fresh products including Iowa-raised pork, beef, lamb, poultry, fish, elk, baked breads, pies and cinnamon rolls. Shoppers will also find locally produced eggs, butter, cheese, wine, jams,

jellies, beautiful cut flowers, unique hostas and a vast assortment of locally created arts, crafts, jewelry, rugs, and clothing.
