Every Saturday between May and October, you'll find the Des Moines Farmers Market bustling in the beautiful Historic Court District of Downtown Des Moines. Over 300 farmers, bakers, artists, and vendors come to the farmer's market from more than 58 counties across Iowa. The market itself is so large that it takes up nine city blocks. The market was limited to summer, but the city now offers a smaller Winter Farmers Market that's opened between November and December. If you stop by late in the year, you'll still get to see over 130 vendors plus seasonal items, like poinsettias and fresh-cut Christmas trees.
