Need to buy some fresh food? Check out our interactive map of the closest farmers markets and when they’re open. By clicking on the check marks on the right, you can see which markets are open on which days of the week.

Green markers mean the markets are open that particular day. Gray markers mean that the markets are either closed that day, out of season or closed indefinitely.

Of course, aside from a few farmers markets in the area, we also have NewBo Market, Hy-Vee has some local produce, and you could drive down to the New Pioneer Co-Op in the Iowa City - Coralville area.
