The vendors at the Sioux City Farmer's Market are farmers, cooks, artists, and small business owners from Sioux City and from nearby communities in Iowa, Nebraska, and South Dakota. Most vendors are there most weeks, but some are not, so I definitely recommend following your favorites on social media to watch for info on which weeks they will be there. You can also find out more information about all of the vendors on the Sioux City Farmer's Market website.

There are a lot more vendors than this and in my experience every vendor at the Sioux City Farmers Market is excellent, but some of the specific vendors who will for sure be at the 2021 Sioux City Farmer's Market and that I recommend include:

  • the Cornucopia
  • C. Brown
    • The BEST local jams and jellies. These always make me want to eat a pb&j! My fave is probably their strawberry lemonade flavor, but if that's not your jam, they're sure to have one that is. 
  • Farmer Brown
    • Fresh delicious produce for reasonable prices. Their consistently great quality always keeps me coming back for more!
  • KJ West 
    • Super cute jewelry and accessories from a local maker!
  • Loess Hills Honey
    • Local honey and honey-based products including lip balm. Their honey sticks are 5 for $1 which is a great option if you want to get your kids something little at the market!
  • Loess Valley
    • Goat milk soap from west central Iowa. I follow her on Instagram and my kids are obsessed with the videos she posts of her adorable goats, plus her soaps are great quality and smell so nice!
  • Mallett Farms
    • Fruits, veggie, and more from the Salix area!

Special Events at the Sioux City Farmers Market

Most years there are special events at the Farmers Market throughout the spring, summer, and fall including live music, bike helmet giveaways, yard games, and even a Halloween costume contest! As special events are announced for the 2023 market season, I will try to update here.

The Ranch KC offers family-friendly KC BBQ in Belton, MO

UPDATE: The Ranch KC closed in spring 2026. I am leaving my review up for now in case people are still curious about what it was like. You can check out more of my KC faves here. On a recent trip to Kansas City, I had the opportunity to visit a new restaurant, The Ranch KC, and I was so impressed I wanted to share about it with all of you! My former hometown of Kansas City is one of my favorite travel destinations, not just because I love seeing my family and friends there, but also because there are great places to play, shop, eat, and explore. And The Ranch KC is definitely going on my list of great little places to eat in the KC area for future trips too! The Ranch KC is at its heart a barbeque restaurant with a relaxed atmosphere and lots of kid-friendly options, so I definitely recommend it as a great way to get some KC BBQ, especially if you're visiting the area with kids.  Where is The Ranch KC? The Ranch KC is located at 17207 S US Hwy 71 in Belton, ...
