FARMERS' MARKET
Every Saturday from 9-1 pm starting May 20th located at LSI’s Des
Moines campus at 3200 University Avenue (in the parking lot of LSI)
in the Drake neighborhood. It’s a low traffic area where you can easily
find a parking spot, and a perfect place to get to know the farmers
who grow your food. We also have activities for kids, cultural
entertainment, and food demonstrations—come try a new food with
us! We welcome EBT and WIC/Senior Farmers’ Market checks, as
well as Double Up Food Bucks!
The Double Up Food Bucks program doubles the value of federal nutrition benefits (SNAP or food stamps)
spent at market, giving customers a dollar for dollar match up to $10 to spend on fresh, locally grown fruits and
vegetables. This allows low-income families to bring home more healthy food, local farmers to gain new
customers and make more money, and more food dollars to stay in the local economy.
