The Iowa City Farmers Market was set to return to an in-person event on Saturday, July 4, 2020. Due to increased cases of COVID-19 in Johnson County the in-person Iowa City Farmers Market has been canceled for the 2020 season. For more details, view the press release.
Our beloved Holiday Market previously scheduled for Saturday, Nov. 14, 2020, from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Robert A. Lee Recreation Center, 220 S. Gilbert St. has been canceled due to COVID-19.
Customers will still be able to shop from the list of highlighted vendors, where they can choose from many one-of-a-kind, locally handcrafted treasures. The Holiday Market vendors highlighted will be retailers of gifts, home goods, and decor, apparel and accessories, specialty foods, pet supplies, boutique items, and more.
Online Farmers Market
The Online Farmers Market was a collaboration between the Iowa City Parks and Recreation Department and Field to Family. The Online Market ran from May through the end of October. Both organizations value local vendors and producers and the need of the community to have access to locally grown fresh produce and products. Together they created the Online Farmers Market to provide access to a contact-free market in response to the coronavirus pandemic.
Follow Us on Social
Please stay tuned as we communicate changes and best practices. These will be communicated regularly through our social medial channels.
The Online Farmers Market platform is live and you can order weekly here. Although it's good, please know that not all the farmers and vendors have integrated and we want to make sure you have access to healthy local food. We've put together two guides to help you find farmers who are operating so you can connect directly with them. This list only includes vendors who are ready to sell now.
Registration for the 2020 Iowa City Farmers Market Season
Season vendors with a history of good attendance at the market will be given first priority and will receive their regularly assigned space from the previous season. New vendors will be placed on our waiting list and may be contacted to fill in when space allows.
