Dubuque Farmers Market

Dubuque Farmers Market has established itself as a community hub in Dubuque, Iowa, connecting shoppers directly with the growers and makers behind their food.

Shoppers can visit Saturdays, 7 AM - 12 PM, May - October. Arriving early is recommended for the widest selection of products.

Farmers markets like Dubuque Farmers Market represent a fundamentally different way of accessing food compared to a supermarket. When you shop at Dubuque Farmers Market, the person selling you tomatoes is often the same person who planted them — a level of transparency and traceability that industrial food systems cannot replicate. That direct relationship is what draws many Dubuque residents to the market week after week.

The selection at Dubuque Farmers Market changes as the growing season progresses. Early in the season, expect cool-weather crops like salad greens, radishes, and herbs. Peak summer brings the widest variety — tomatoes, peppers, corn, stone fruits, and squash. By fall, the market shifts toward storage vegetables, apples, pears, preserves, and baked goods that make use of seasonal harvests. This seasonal rhythm is something you feel at a farmers market in a way you never do in a grocery store.

Dubuque Farmers Market is committed to serving all members of the Dubuque community. SNAP/EBT benefits are accepted, meaning nutrition assistance recipients can use their benefits to buy fresh, locally grown produce and other eligible items directly from vendors. These programs reflect a broader commitment to food access that many farmers market organizers across Iowa have prioritized in recent years.

By connecting Dubuque residents with local producers, Dubuque Farmers Market supports a shorter, more transparent food supply chain that benefits both buyers and sellers.

Access to fresh food at Dubuque Farmers Market extends to SNAP/EBT recipients, who can use their benefits to shop directly from local farmers and producers.
