Des Moines' Downtown Farmers’ Market, Street market in Downtown Des Moines, United States.
Des Moines' Downtown Farmers' Market is a street market with roughly 300 vendors spread across multiple blocks in the Historic Court District. Shoppers find fresh produce, artisan-made foods, and handcrafted goods alongside seasonal offerings.
The market began as a grassroots effort to support local farming and grew into a major regional marketplace over time. Its expansion reflects growing buyer interest in purchasing directly from producers.
Local producers showcase their work directly to shoppers, sparking conversations about where food comes from and how it is made. These face-to-face interactions foster a stronger sense of connection within the community.

The market earned recognition as one of the top farmers' markets in the country, a distinction highlighting its importance to Iowa's agricultural community. This recognition draws shoppers from beyond the immediate area.
