For some time now, we have been working to open a Farmers Market that will make fresh produce available to our communities for a reasonable price.   I'm so pleased to announce that the idea is becoming a reality.

The old Buick dealership that was located at 19^th and State streets in East St. Louis is in the process of being renovated, and converted into a Farmers’ Market that should be completed and ready for business by mid-September.  It will accommodate at least a dozen or more businesses, in addition to the market area. 

This facility permits us to incorporate the need for fresh, healthy food for our families with our other goal of business ownership by people within our community.

Below is an architectural rendering of our Farmers' Market.  We'll keep you posted on our progress.
