The bureau takes a hands-on approach with the annual Farmers Market Workshop geared to managers and vendors along with Fresh News which is published several times throughout the year.
Farmers markets are Iowa’s number one direct marketing outlet for fresh, locally grown produce. Along with fresh fruits and vegetables, many markets offer a variety of products from eggs and baked goods to meat, wine, cheese and crafts.
