From Field to Table


As part of our mission to help you stay or get healthy, the Farmers Market on Historic N 1st Street is partnering with the Mettler Center and the Champaign Urbana Public Health District. In July and August, the Market will feature cooking demonstrations using ingredients that are available at each week's market.

The recipes will be not only showcase the food that is fresh from the field (ensuring the food is extra tasty), but they are also designed to show you quick and easy ways to keep your family healthy. You can pick up your recipes after the demonstrations are done, and then pick up those yummy ingredients. Don't forget to ask for help in the kitchen when you get home because kids will be allowed to help with the demonstrations, ensuring a clean plate at the end of the meal.

Add to the fact that you are also supporting local farmers, Thursdays at the Farmers Market on Historic N 1st Street is a no-brainer when it comes to staying healthy.
