The Macomb Farmers Market is dedicated to providing an opportunity for local farmers, food producers, artisans, and crafters to sell directly to the consumer in a venue that builds community and supports the development of entrepreneurs.
The Mount Sterling Farmers Market began in 2017 as a grassroots effort led by community members with the goal of promoting local food access, small businesses, and community gathering, laying the foundation for the market we know today.
As the breezes become a little brisk and the days begin to shorten, nature begins the process of preparing for the cold winter months ahead. Don't miss this opportunity to enjoy nature and the magnificent colors of autumn from the lake. We will meet at the concession parking lot at 10 am & 11 am. Each one-hour tour can accommodate only 6 people. To register, please call (309) 776-3422 or email Bridget.Hinchee@illinois.gov
