Bike-to-Market Day
This Saturday, September 27
th
, is
Bike-to-Market Day
, so CU area residents are encouraged to bring their bikes with them to the Urbana Farmer’s Market. If you’re not aware of it, every Saturday from the first week of May to the first week of November, from 7-12 am at the
southwest parking lot of the Lincoln Square Mall in downtown Urbana
. It’s one of the largest farmer’s markets in Illinois and has been going on since 1979. This week there will be a bike valet, making parking easier than ever before!
Here you can find a range of locally produced fruits, vegetables, meats, eggs, crafts, honey, alcohol, and other items. Not only is the quality high, but the prices are low – You’ll be amazed by how high the markup is at grocery stores for produce! – and it allows you to connect with food that’s both local and seasonal.
