About the Market

Background

Founded in 1977 by community leader Marvin L. Goodman, the Peoria Farmers Market at the Metro Centre was established to promote healthy eating and create a space where consumers and farmers from Central Illinois could connect. Over thirty years later, the market continues to thrive, staying true to Goodman's original vision.

Practices

The market emphasizes the importance of local agriculture by providing a venue for farmers to sell their fresh, locally grown produce directly to consumers. This direct connection supports local farming communities and ensures that customers have access to high-quality, fresh food.

The Rest

In addition to produce, the market offers flowers, pasta, and various other goods, making it a diverse shopping destination for those who appreciate local products and a community-oriented shopping experience.
