Sponsored by:
Downtown Bloomington Association, with support from the McLean County Arts Center,
the Illinois Arts Council, a state agency, and the City of Bloomington

PURPOSE: The primary purpose of the Farmers’ Market is to help energize downtown Bloomington by providing a forum where urban residents can deal directly with the farmers who grow their food products, increasing their knowledge and appreciation for the quality and benefits of locally grown and produced agricultural products.  Supporting goals include the following:

• Provide growers and producers of Illinois agricultural commodities and other farm-related products with alternative marketing opportunities.
• Promote the sale of Illinois-grown farm products.
• Improve the variety, freshness, taste and nutritional value of produce available to consumers in the McLean County area.

The Market is open from 7:30 a.m. to noon every Saturday morning from the Saturday after Mother's Day through the end of October.  We also have a special, indoor market the Saturday before Thanksgiving.
