About the Market

Background

Located in Lanark, Illinois, the market has established itself as a cornerstone for local economic development and community building. By providing a venue for local vendors to sell their goods, it has become a vital part of the town's social fabric.

Practices

The market emphasizes the importance of locally grown produce and specialty items, fostering a direct connection between producers and consumers. This approach not only supports the local economy but also encourages sustainable agricultural practices by reducing the distance food travels from farm to table.

Visitors can find a variety of goods including baked goods, canned or preserved fruits, vegetables, jams, jellies, preserves, salsas, pickles, cheese and dairy products, fresh fruits, fresh vegetables, honey, nuts, and plants in containers.
