While not as numerous as outdoor farmers markets, Eastern Iowa is home to a number of indoor markets that operate from November to April.
This year, the longtime Dubuque Winter Farmers Market has relocated. The market is still in the Kennedy Mall, but is now in the former Rue21 storefront, next to Bath & Body Works on the north concourse.
Others remain in the same location, but have changed hours or dates, with current ones noted in the list.
Online markets also offer local meats, cheese, vegetables and more throughout the year.
