Local foodies have a chance this weekend to be part of a farm-to-table chef competition to raise money for an area farmers market and farmer training.

How do small-scale farmers get products from their fields to our plates? Local farmers talk about their involvements in farmers’ markets, food tours, and other areas of distribution.

How are local farms becoming more sustainable? Local citizens involved in farming describe the facets of their visions of sustainable farming.

Why do people become farmers? Insights as to how some inherit this trade, while others are attracted to the land or inspired to make an impact.

The Champaign Farmers Market will run every Tuesday evening through October 27th from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. in downtown Champaign. They think the location, time and doubling SNAP benifits and more will help them be successful.
