Every Saturday from May through October, we serve up hot farmhouse bagel sandwiches made with heritage Kunekune pork and farm-fresh eggs from our family farm. We start with authentic kettle-boiled bagels from 5 Borough Bagels and top them with sliced cheddar from Hinterland Dairy, then cook everything on-site at the Downtown Des Moines Farmers’ Market. Local ingredients, farm-fresh breakfast, made with care right at the market.

What’s on the Farmhouse Bagel
Fully Local, Fully Delicious
We believe every bite should tell a story, and ours starts right here in the heart of our community. When you buy a Farmhouse Bagel, you are supporting multiple Iowa families at once. Every sandwich we make celebrates the hard work of local farmers, small producers, and the rhythms of the prairie—because great food starts at home.
-
We source our bagels from 5 Borough Bagels in Urbandale, Iowa. They’re a local bakery passionate about traditional methods, like kettle-boiling bagels for that perfect chewy texture.
-
The sliced cheddar you’ll taste is crafted by Hinterland Dairy, bringing a rich, creamy flavor straight from their family farm to your sandwich.
-
The star ingredients come from our family farm: pasture-raised Kunekune pork and farm-fresh eggs, cared for with love and ethical practices.
