One of the fun perks of living in East Village here in Des Moines is the ability to walk to the Des Moines Farmers Market on Saturday mornings.

I probably can not attend to too many this year due to shooting weddings on many Saturdays but last weekend was open and the market was just delightful!

I have been hitting up the Farmers Market here for years but the last few it has grown so much and changed into something that is just wonderful for the downtown Des Moines community.  There are over 200 family farmers, bakers, artists & craf people from around the state. Also bands! You can’t forget the bands. Well that and the plethora of puppies.

You can also stay up to date with their facebook page here: https://www.facebook.com/DowntownFarmersMarket

If you are from the area and have yet to go or haven’t been in years I highly recommend taking a stroll down to Court Ave for the Farmers Market sometime soon!
