Downtown Farmer’s Market Interview Notes:
Interviewee - Des Moines Partnership Downtown Farmers' Market Manager Megan Renkel.
DSM Farmer’s Market:
Opening Day: Saturday, May 6th, 2023 @ 7AM
You can definitely get your steps in with how many streets are filled with vendors in the DSM Historic Court District.
I see our downtown farmers market is rated #2 in the nation by at least 2 organizations. (Shape Magazine and the Daily Meal)
I am always marching around looking for new food to try, and new items to buy that I haven’t seen before.
The entertainment is fun too. There must be two to three musical performers playing at a time throughout the Market each Saturday.
I loved seeing the specific booth for smaller, local vendors wanting to dip their toes at the Famer’s Market…
A fun experience is the Opening Ceremony with the bell.
