The Iowa City Farmer's Market has been named the #1 market in the state by American Farmland Trust in its annual "America's Favorite Farmers Markets" contest. The Iowa City market also made the national Top 20 list in the large market category, garnering the #17 spot and sharing the limelight with markets from much larger metro areas, including Seattle, St. Paul, Omaha, and Baltimore. Large markets are defined as having 56 or more vendors. Iowa City was the only market in Iowa to be ranked nationally in any of the four categories -- small, medium, mid-sized, or large markets.
