The Decorah Farmers Market is the best place to find local food and goods from Northeast Iowa’s small producers and artisans.Â
The outdoor market takes place May through October on Wednesday afternoons from 3PM to 6PM and Saturday mornings from 8AM to 11AM, in the lower Oneota Community Co-op parking lot. Shop the indoor market in November and December from 8:30 – 11:30AM. The indoor market is located in the Danan Lansing Building at the Winneshiek County Fairgrounds.
Our vendors accept a number of easy and convenient payment methods including cash and checks, with many vendors now able to accept credit cards. Many vendors participate in the Winneshiek Medical Center Farmers Market Senior Nutrition Program, the Decorah Food Pantry Coupon program, SNAP, and Double Up Food Bucks. We also have an EBT and debit card terminal available.
The Decorah Farmers Market hosts a live musician every Saturday from 9AM – 11AM.
Interested in performing? Contact Kristin at decorahmarket@gmail.com to book your slot.
The market is run by a volunteer board of seven members, each elected for a two-year term.
