Our Market at a Glance

First organized in 1975, we have become SE Iowa’s most well known farmer’s market. Customers are always pleased, and vendors can’t wait to bring their goods to such a vibrant community of buyers.

The market is intended to provide an opportunity for individuals to sell approved items, which are produced or manufactured by them in their garden, farm or home. Vendors may sell only those products that are approved items and that are grown or made by them.

We are organized as a 501c3 non-profit and manged by a Market Advisory Board. We have expanded to accept vendors from all surounded counties, plus three more counties.

Friendly  Local Merchants

All of our vendors are friendly and helpful.

Feel free to talk with them when you visit our market.

Thursday Night Gravel Rides

Come join us for a weekly group gravel bike ride around Jefferson County. All are welcome.

The Ride Bike Shop in Fairfield, Iowa hosts a weekly group gravel ride, typically held Thursday evenings at 5:30pm from late April through Labor Day weekend. After Labor Day, the ride shifts to Sunday afternoons and continues until weather conditions make it impractical, usually wrapping up sometime in November. Each week’s route, start location, and other details are posted on The Ride Bike Shop’s Facebook page.

Routes change from week to week, with short, medium, and long options to choose from. Most riders stick to the short or medium routes. Maps for each week’s routes are posted via Ride With GPS, with the short route generally ranging from 10–18 miles, medium from 15–25 miles, and long 25+ miles.

Free and open to everyone, on any type of bike—hybrid, gravel, mountain, and e-bikes are all welcome. Kids occasionally join too, riding alongside a parent or guardian.
