DES MOINES, Iowa — The Des Moines Downtown Farmers' Market is one of the most useful tools that small businesses use to sell their products.
But when the market was forced to become smaller and only allow cars to come through, the vendors needed to innovate.
Jenny Quiner with Dogpatch Urban Gardens is now creating salad dressings to go with her winter best seller: spinach.
"We were very hopeful that we could introduce those dressings so we just had to get more creative for sale avenues with them," Quiner said.
