About the Market

Background

The Beaverdale Farmers Market has established itself as a vital hub for the Des Moines community, offering a space where local vendors can connect with residents and share their produce and goods. Over the years, it has grown to include more than 40 vendors.

Practices

The market emphasizes the importance of local agriculture and supports small-scale farmers and producers by providing them a platform to sell their goods directly to consumers. This approach not only fosters a sense of community but also ensures that fresh, locally-sourced food is accessible to all.

The Rest

In addition to fresh produce and local food, the market partners with non-profit organizations for community outreach and offers programs such as SNAP, WIC, and Double-Up Food Bucks to make nutritious food available to a broader audience. The market operates every Tuesday from June to mid-September, between 4:00 PM and 7:00 PM.
