Purchasing locally grown produce has a number of benefits including freshness, great taste, and superior nutritional value. Local food grown by smaller family farms travels less distance, spends less time in storage and is often grown without pesticides & chemicals used by many commercial growers.

Our market features Amish farmers from Indiana and African-American farmers from Pembroke Township, Illinois who raise their produce with nurturing hands.
