 The producer-only farmers market will be held rain or shine from 8
a.m. to noon Saturdays through Sept. 25 in the Expo Building at the
Logan County Fairgrounds in Lincoln.
“The market is an extension of the ALMH mission to improve the
health of the people and communities we serve; our aim is to
increase consumption of local produce and to provide free health
screenings to the community,” Angela Stoltzenburg, director of the
ALMH Community Health Collaborative, said.
The ALMH Market is the premiere indoor, producer-only market in
central Illinois and has become a wellness destination like no
other, Stoltzenburg said.
The producer-only designation ensures that all items offered at The
Market will be homegrown, handmade or vendor-created from locally
owned operations within Illinois.
Free admission, free parking, free activities for all ages and a
LINK card matching program make the weekly event attractive to
everyone, Stoltzenburg said.
Free health screenings will again be offered on the second and
fourth Saturday of each month.
