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.
The Online Farmers Market is a collaboration between the Iowa City Parks and Recreation Department and Field to Family. 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 have created the Online Farmers Market to provide access to a contact-free market in response to the coronavirus pandemic.
Place your order starting Tuesday at noon. Carts close when capacity is met, or at noon on Wednesday. Distribution is Saturday morning at the Chauncey Swan Parking Ramp.

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.
