Grinnell Farmers Market now underway for 2022

     The Grinnell Farmers Market is now underway for 2022. The market is held on Thursday from 3 – 6 p.m. and Saturday from 10 a.m. - Noon. The market is excited to welcome back many long time vendors with the addition of a number of new vendors for the 2022 season. Grinnell Farmers Market is organized by the Grinnell Area Chamber of Commerce and is presented by UnityPoint Health-Grinnell, Grinnell College and Grinnell Mutual.
Market Set Up
      Market will be held at the corner of 4th and Broad Street. Community members are again asked to avoid parking in those parking spaces after 1 p.m. on Thursdays and after 6:30 a.m. on Saturdays to allow vendors adequate time to set up for market.
      Market will continue to have a card reader available for those wishing to purchase tokens to use at the market. Debit/Credit tokens can be purchased to use as cash with all vendors at market. SNAP benefit tokens can be purchased with SNAP cards to use for qualifying products.
The market will again be participating in the Double Up Food Bucks program for the 2022 season. Customers are able to earn DUFB when purchasing SNAP tokens or can bring the DUFB earned at Fareway and spend them with qualifying vendors. The card reader stand will be located in front of the Veteran’s Memorial Building. Please stop by the stand or call the chamber office with questions.
