CU on the Farm!
Sign up for our CU on the Farm Experience Pass to hit 15 Champaign-Urbana area farms—distillery tours, on-farm dinners, and u-pick fun. You’ll meet the growers behind our local food scene, savor farm-fresh flavor, and meet alpacas, reindeer, and goats! Get your pass now and make a whole season of it!
Farmers Markets
With agriculture surrounding the Champaign-Urbana area, we have an abundance of opportunities to shop from area producers at our farmers markets. With a market happening nearly every day of the week during the growing season, you’ll always be stocked with fresh ingredients. Outdoor market season runs from May–October, but don't worry, the Champaign-Urbana Winter Farmers Market will keep you stocked indoors from November–April!
Tuesday—Champaign Farmers Market in downtown Champaign, with over a dozen local growers and producers to help with that mid-week shopping
Wednesday—Rantoul, Homer and Sullivan Farmers Markets
Thursday—Monticello Farmers Market and the University of Illinois Sustainable Student Farm
Friday—Mahomet Farmers Market
Saturday—Urbana’s Market at the Square, the largest market in the county, has over 70 vendors on site weekly with food trucks, entertainment and kids activities. Don’t miss the Arcola Market and Champaign-Urbana Winter Farmers Market from November–April.
