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.

Join us in this happy event every week.

5 Lesson Course - Introduction to Drawing

Peer-led Mental Health Support Group

GROUP RULES:

Check in:

-Name and pronouns

-What emotions are you feeling right now?

Check out:

-What emotions are you feeling after everyone has shared?

-What needs were met by the meeting? What needs were NOT met by the meeting?

-How can this group meet your needs more effectively?

Purpose: This is a safe space to discuss our mental health, caring for our mental health, and challenges in caring for our mental health.

Meeting Agreements:

• We take turns sharing one at a time, passing the Speaking Stick clockwise. Only the person with the Speaking Stick may speak.

• Sharing in good faith is required (good-faith sharing is honest, values everyone’s needs, and respects differences and disagreements). We prohibit bigotry and/or discrimination based upon demographics including: race, ethnicity, birthplace, religion, spirituality, anatomy, disability, gender, sexual orientation, class, legal status, politics, etc.

• We use “I statements” to share our point of view while recognizing different views. Examples:

“I believe this happened,”

“I remember her saying this,”

“It seems to me that he was doing this,” etc.

• After sharing, you may ask others for feedback. If you do not want feedback, no one may provide feedback. After feedback is given, the Speaking Stick is passed to the next person waiting to share.

• The facilitator may need to ask someone to wrap up their share or feedback so everyone waiting to share will have time to share.

• We respect people's choices surrounding medication and diagnosis. We value self-determination and mutual support.

• While everyone has the right to refuse feedback, this group is also a safe space to call each other in — asking questions in good faith and sharing information to help meet everyone’s needs. We are all always learning.

• We respect the confidentiality of those here. Who you see here, what you hear here, let it stay here.

• This group is peer-led. It is NOT an alternative to professional mental health care. It is NOT designed to provide emergency services.

Note: These agreements borrow from the Wildfire/Mad Tea House Open Share meeting agreements. These agreements were adapted for this group by Dee Bosold.

Ali Sperry!

Ali returns from Nashville with her soulful folk/country darts to the heart!

Fairfield native, Ali has become a fixture in the Nashville scene for over a decade. Her clear-eyed songs and vocal delivery are undeniably rooted in folk and country, simple and true, while toying with tones of modern indie-pop, rock, and old-school soul. She evokes stories of hearts broken and healing, the wistful burn of aspiration, and the universal quest for connection.

Her more recent journey into the joys of motherhood was especially hard fought, fraught with pain, grief, and spiritual exhaustion, which she does not shy away from on her new EP, When I Was a Mother and Other Songs. The embodiment of “If you know you know,” even in Nashville’s thick matrix of low key master song crafters, Sperry manages to keep her lens steady when turned directly on the darkest nights of the soul. Joy, grief, hope and trauma are treated with the same anti-operatic, crystalline under-singing that is her signature. When I Was A Mother was produced by Sperry’s husband and collaborator Jamie Dick at Joy Carnival - a studio built onto the back of their house during the pandemic. Even before the studio’s creation, Dick Manor was a social hub for East Nashville’s finest musicians. So it's not surprising that many turned up for the EP, lured by the prospect of maybe cutting a tune, but almost certainly sharing a bottle and a gang of laughs… the kind of laid back effortless musical connection that feels like a bygone dream of a lost Nashville.

Doors open at 7. Come early to get a drink and a bite. Go to fairfieldmuse.org to support live music!
