About the Market
Background
Located along the scenic Mississippi Riverfront and anchored by the historic Freight House Building in Downtown Davenport, Iowa, the Davenport Freight House Farmers Market has become a staple in the Quad Cities. Nearly 200 creative and talented individuals have gathered here, many of whom have been direct marketing their wares at this location for decades.
Practices
The market emphasizes direct marketing, allowing growers, bakers, crafters, and artisans to engage directly with customers. This approach fosters a community atmosphere where vendors can answer gardening questions, offer recipes, and assist with choices.
The Rest
Visitors can find a wide variety of offerings including farm-fresh fruits, vegetables, baked goods, poultry, beef, bison, lamb, pork, cheese, wine, eggs, honey, jams, jellies, dips, salsas, candy, fresh cut and dried flowers, bedding plants, annuals, perennials, house plants, art pieces, homemade soaps, dog treats, and heritage quality crafts. The market is open all year long on Tuesdays from 3-6PM and Saturdays from 8AM until 1:00PM. Seasonal changes ensure a constantly evolving selection of goods.
