The Illinois Farm Direct Farmer to Consumer Directory has a searchable list of Illinois farmers that will sell their produce directly to you -- yes, YOU. Type in your zip code and a search radius, and you'll see what farmers are within your reach. And then you can support local farmers, while getting fresh farm produce at the same time. Everybody wins!
