[DUBUQUE, IOWA] Dubuque Winter Farmers Market kicks off their 14th season on Saturday, November 7, 2020 from
9 a.m.-12 p.m. in the Kennedy Mall, 555 John F. Kennedy Road in Dubuque, Iowa. Winter Market is held in the former Younkers Men’s Storefront near Planet Fitness. Winter Farmers Market will be open every Saturday (except December 26) through April 24, 2021. Approximately 35 regional vendors will be offering seasonal produce, eggs, meats, cheeses, honey, maple syrup, starter plants, herbs, baked goods, and more.
Market Tokens are available for purchase at the Winter Market Information Booth. Use your credit, debit, or SNAP/EBT card to purchase tokens that are used just like cash at all vendor booths. Winter Market is offering Double Up Food Bucks this year. For every $10 of SNAP tokens purchased, customers receive an additional $10 in Food Bucks that can be spent on produce.
In an effort to reduce, reuse, and recycle, Winter Market organizers encourage you to bring your own reusable shopping bags. They also offer a recycling station that will accept clean egg cartons, glass canning/mason jars (only), and plastic grocery bags.
In compliance with the City of Dubuque mask mandate, masks will be required to participate at the indoor Winter Farmers Market. Masks will be available for free at the door if you do not have your own. Social distancing measures will be in place between all vendor booths and shoppers are encouraged to keep a minimum of 6 ft. between themselves and others to keep Winter Market a safe and healthy community space.
You can become part of the energy by participating as a vendor, shopping each week, or volunteering. To volunteer, contact Paula Neuhaus at neuhaus.paula@gmail.com. Vendor applications are available at WinterMarketDbq.com. Founded in 2007 by a group of dedicated volunteers, Dubuque Winter Farmers Market is made possible through partnerships with the Four Mounds Foundation, Kennedy Mall, and Dubuque Main, with support from Premier Bank, City of Dubuque, and Sustainable Dubuque.
