Our Sponsors

Pioneer Hi-Bred International
The Downtown Farmers Market is proud to partner with Pioneer Hi-Bred International, Inc. Since 2001, Pioneer Hi-Bred has been an important part of the Downtown Farmers Market. As the presenting sponsor of the Downtown Farmers' Market, we have been able to add and expand educational programming and make the Market safer and more comfortable for shoppers.

Earn your PhB
With Pioneer Hi-Bred International, Inc. as the presenting sponsor, the Downtown Farmers' Market has added an educational component. Every Saturday at the Earn your PhB series brings agriculture to life through engaging, agricultural activities. By creating make-and-take projects, children at the Market can learn about Iowa’s vast agricultural landscape.


The Earn your PhB series would not be possible without the dedication of Pioneer Hi-Bred employees. Pioneer workers volunteer for six months out of the year to teach families about everything from how bees make honey to the benefits of soy products.


Earn your PhB is scheduled weekly (weather permitting), and is located on the southwest corner of 4th and Court. It’s free—thanks to Pioneer.

Pioneer Court
Downtown Farmers Market visitors can take a seat and relax while they enjoy the tastes, smells and sounds of the Market. With the support of Pioneer Hi-Bred, we’ve created a park-like setting near the foot of the Polk County Courthouse at the corner of 5th and Court, complete with comfy chairs and beautiful Market umbrellas. Pioneer Court is a great spot to meet up with friends and family at the Market.
