FAIRFIELD, IA -- The intense heat didn't stop people in Fairfield from coming to the Farmer's Market in Howard Park.

Different vendors came from around southeast Iowa to showcase their products.

There was even sushi available.

The market displayed more than just food.

Vendors were showing off handmade crafts and trinkets.

With the weather the way it's been these past couple weeks some of the crops aren't coming in the way local farmers want them to.

Kim Keller of Blooming Acres Farm explains, "It's a really hard year for us.  It started off we had a really good year, things did very well early but now that it's gotten so hot, it's so hard on use to get outiside to work.  Then the bugs are coming in like crazy because fo the hot weather, no rain, now the crops are just really struggling with no rain."
