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!

Thursday—Monticello Farmers Market and the University of Illinois Sustainable Student Farm
