Opening Day 2012!

Opening day for the Heights Farm Market is nearly here - tomorrow - Wednesday, June 13th - begins the new 2012 season.  For an intimate farm market that started a handful of years ago, completely run and operated by farmers and local producers (without business sponsorship), we are THRILLED when opening day approaches each year!  2012 is no exception.

Why are we thrilled?  Because the market's success is due to our customers, pure and simple.  Thank you for coming out and supporting local produce and local products each Wednesday.  We truly appreciate you and we will continue to be here - bringing fresh farm grown Illinois fruits, vegetables and flowers as well as locally made Illinois products for as long as you will have us.

Bring a friend and enjoy the afternoon and early evening out at the market - see you tomorrow!

The Jenkinses Went to Washington....D.C. that is...

Our very own Heights Farm Market manager and her husband recently traveled to to Washington, D.C. to share their conservation story with members of the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry.

Pat Jenkins and her husband are farmers, parents, grandparents, savvy business people, actively involved in their community and hands down grow the best sweet corn in Illinois.  We couldn't be more proud; and we couldn't be more pleased to have the Jenkin's Farm at the Heights Farm Market!
