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.

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.

Dungeons & Dragons drop in campaign

Join DJ every other Sunday for this epic high fantasy D&D campaign.

Old stones up in the mountains hold the stories; a king becoming sick with greed; with wanting of more and more wealth, and a dwarven civilization of gold and diamond. To have such plentiful gold that it was as valuable as timber or stone in its day. Gold was a building material while currency was polished wood mined from tree roots. Something long ago forced the dwarves to abandon Al’Khaz, the city of gold. Its location, all its wealth, and all of its technology, all lost to time. Some say it was stolen away by the sea, some claim it was lifted into the sky to live among the clouds, others theorize that it left for a different plane entirely.As the humble and fabled people of Aegravalon struggles to defend Tregaidaran from the forces of Dourlaran and their terrible plans of land development, our heroes are faced with evidence that maybe Al’Khaz could be found. And if it can be found, maybe there is hope to win this war after all.---

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!

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.

Dungeons & Dragons drop in campaign

Join DJ every other Sunday for this epic high fantasy D&D campaign.

Old stones up in the mountains hold the stories; a king becoming sick with greed; with wanting of more and more wealth, and a dwarven civilization of gold and diamond. To have such plentiful gold that it was as valuable as timber or stone in its day. Gold was a building material while currency was polished wood mined from tree roots. Something long ago forced the dwarves to abandon Al’Khaz, the city of gold. Its location, all its wealth, and all of its technology, all lost to time. Some say it was stolen away by the sea, some claim it was lifted into the sky to live among the clouds, others theorize that it left for a different plane entirely.As the humble and fabled people of Aegravalon struggles to defend Tregaidaran from the forces of Dourlaran and their terrible plans of land development, our heroes are faced with evidence that maybe Al’Khaz could be found. And if it can be found, maybe there is hope to win this war after all.---

-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.

Michal Shababo!

Michal is back! Her standing room only farewell concerts two years ago garnered overwhelming enthusiasm, and now that she's moved back to Fairfield, we fit her into the schedule as soon as we could!

Academically-trained musician and composer, the nomadic Michal Shababo was born in L.A., raised in Cape Town, and started her own family in Israel before coming to Fairfield. She has performed internationally in South Africa, the US, Israel, Thailand and Portugal. The joy she pours through her originals and classic covers is irrestible. Her gutsy, uplifting, heart centered delivery pulls the audience into a love fest. Her album “Breathe It In” (available on all digital platforms) is a modern take on folk-rock music of the late sixties, heavily influenced by the Beatles, among many others. Mastered by Grammy-winning sound engineer Emily Lazar, and featuring some of the best musicians from Israel - including the African Hebrew Gospel Choir, "Breathe It In" contains a message of unity, hope and peace.

Doors open at 7. Come early for a drink and a bite. Please visit fairfieldmuse.org to find out about how you can support live music in Fairfield!

Shawn Maxwell!

Bold and beautiful jazz compositions from a master!

2 time Editors Pick – Downbeat Magazine

“Nobody writes like this.” – Howard Reich, Chicago Tribune

"This is bold music. Maxwell isn’t afraid to try out new ideas and take chances….that risk-taking pays off—big time.”- Frank Alkyer‚ Downbeat Magazine

“…a composer who’s confident in his artistic vision, and comfortable with the wide array of colors on his instrumental palette.” – Bobby Reed, Downbeat Magazine

We are excited to once again host one of Chicago’s premiere jazz artists, saxophonist Shawn Maxwell! Buckle up as they take you with them on a high energy ride through bebop, rock, hip hop, classical and fusion. A long time Fairfield favorite, they present all original material. Shawn Maxwell's gifts have been lauded by fellow musicians and critics alike as he's become one of the preeminent performers in Chicago jazz. As a composer, recording artist and performer, Shawn has ever endeavored to express his own unique voice. From his debut, Originals (self-released, 2005) to his latest album, Millstream (Jazzline, 2020), he has released nine albums of original compositions. The traditions of jazz form the foundation for Shawn’s music, but he builds on that with material from the music he grew up with – rock, funk, hip hop, R&B, and classical. The result, as Hrayr Attarian wrote in Chicago Jazz Magazine,“is refreshingly distinct yet recognizably Maxwellian”. He’s not intent on following any rules – or on breaking them – but on continually expanding his vocabulary of beauty.

Doors open at 7:00. Come early for a drink and a bite! Check out fairfieldmuse.org to find out how you can support live music in Fairfield!

Dungeons & Dragons drop in campaign

Join DJ every other Sunday for this epic high fantasy D&D campaign.

Old stones up in the mountains hold the stories; a king becoming sick with greed; with wanting of more and more wealth, and a dwarven civilization of gold and diamond. To have such plentiful gold that it was as valuable as timber or stone in its day. Gold was a building material while currency was polished wood mined from tree roots. Something long ago forced the dwarves to abandon Al’Khaz, the city of gold. Its location, all its wealth, and all of its technology, all lost to time. Some say it was stolen away by the sea, some claim it was lifted into the sky to live among the clouds, others theorize that it left for a different plane entirely.As the humble and fabled people of Aegravalon struggles to defend Tregaidaran from the forces of Dourlaran and their terrible plans of land development, our heroes are faced with evidence that maybe Al’Khaz could be found. And if it can be found, maybe there is hope to win this war after all.---
