By Iandra Estupinian–<\/strong>The Sioux City Farmers Market season has come again, starting May 1st and ending October 27. Conveniently located just past the Tyson Events Center in downtown Sioux City, you can find many friendly vendors selling fresh and organic goodies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Farmers Market is open on Wednesdays and\nSaturdays from 8:00 am to 1:00 pm. Vendors change depending on availability of\nproduce and growing seasons. Saturdays are often the busier day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coming from the West Coast and not the Midwest, I thought it would be fun to visit the Market while it was at the beginning of its season. I took a few of my friends on a Saturday. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not only was that Saturday Star Wars Day, but\nthe weather had improved for the better. The sun was out and many of the people\nwere happy to be outside. This was a great start for me since I\u2019ve never been\nto a farmers market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The market wasn\u2019t that big but my friend, who does live in the Midwest, told me more vendors would start making the trip. I didn\u2019t mind because the vendors that were there were selling a lot of good foods and products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The majority of the vendors were selling vegetables and jars or sticks of honey, which were really good. I also saw vendors selling non-farm products like tie-dye clothes, organic soap, wood creations, pet treats, and baked sweets. Coffee and Nosh even made an appearance, alongside some other food vendors like Erik\u2019s Enchiladas and J & J Old Fashioned Kettle Corn. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a food lover and mediocre cook, I found some treasures at C. Brown Gardens & Farm Fresh Beef. They sell jams and jellies that are like nothing I\u2019ve ever tried and I left that tent with a bottle of their hottest jam, Habanero. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Going through the market, I found that many of\nthe products are not overly priced and are fun to try out. Luckily, the vendors\nbelieve in \u201ctrying things out\u201d because you can get a lot of samples in this\nplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As this market was my first, I would have to\nsay Sioux City is very close-knit and proud of what they grow and sell. I\nreally enjoyed talking with the vendors and learning how all this farming works\n(remember I live in a city!) Overall this trip was great and I would definitely\ngo again in August when I return to the Midwest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you don\u2019t have anything to do on a\nWednesday or Saturday and are in Sioux City, stop by the market. Not only do\nyou get to waste some down time but you might also find some good things to\nbuy, supporting local farmers and craftsman. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
