You are invited to join us for the Quad Cities freshest and finest products available. Come with the whole family and enjoy fresh products, fresh air, food and fun. We have entertainment, a children's jungle gym and bounce house and over 250 stands to help you build a healthy happy family.

Here is an easy meal with all those great Farmers Market Vegetables. Toss your favorite variety (i.e.:  asparagus, baby carrots, Brussels sprouts and white potatoes) in a roaster pan,sprinkle with oil and salt and pepper to taste. Place in center of oven at 425 for 30-40 minutes and enjoy.  You can add a bratwurst, chicken or beef and have a whole meal.  Leftovers make a great soup just dice up smaller and add stock.

Going to the Bix 7 to cheer on your favorite runner, or running yourself? Be sure to stop at the market after the race.  We are open from 8am until 1pm so plenty of time to shop and enjoy the fresh air, food and fun.  We have plenty of great ideas for you and your family.  Make it a Market Day!

Kids love the playground and bounce house, and the clowns love to make the kids smile.

Seedless watermelons melt in your mouth! Take one home and enjoy.

Eggplant, summer squash and zucchini make great additions to your stews, soups and baked dishes.They are fresh, nutritious and bountiful...

Fresh sliced tomatoes are nutritious and tasty. Add a vinaigrette as a salad. Buy extra and dice some, place in a freezer bag and freeze.  They make great soups, stews and salsa during the cold winter months..

Come and enjoy Pat Willis and Rich Wilcox at the market from 10:30-12:30 on the main stage.

Parking during the Bix 7 race.
