The Illinois FarmersMarket Association (ILFMA) helps make fresh, local food available across the
state by supporting farmers markets and the people that run them. Shopping at
farmers markets isn’t just about delicious farm fresh products—it’s about building
stronger communities, supporting small farms and making healthy food accessible
to all. Many Illinois markets accept SNAP and WIC benefits, thanks in part to
ILFMA’s efforts. Local markets reduce environmental impact and connect people
directly with growers. Every visit supports a more sustainable food system. For
