Every week, Fairfield IL Farmers Market brings together over 40 local vendors, seasonal produce, artisan foods, and handmade goods — right here at Leo French Park on East Johnson Street.
Fairfield IL Farmers Market operates every Saturday from May through October at the heart of Fairfield — Leo French Park, 416 E Johnson St. What began as a small gathering of area growers has grown into one of the region's most trusted weekly markets.
Our vendors are working farmers, family-run farms, and artisan food producers who raise, bake, grow, and craft everything they sell. When you shop with us, you're investing directly in Southern Illinois agriculture and the people who sustain it.
Hand-picked fruits and vegetables sourced from local farms within 50 miles. Seasonal variety changes weekly from spring greens through winter squash.
Fresh-baked bread, small-batch jams, raw honey, aged cheeses, and prepared foods — all made on-site by Illinois artisans using traditional recipes.
Bouquets, cut flowers, container gardens, and perennials from local growers. Bring home the season — perfect for gifts or your own garden.
Grass-fed beef, free-range poultry, pastured eggs, and heritage pork from responsible local producers who prioritize animal welfare and sustainable practices.
Candles, soaps, pottery, woven goods, and seasonal decor — each piece made by local craftspeople right here in the Fairfield area.
We accept SNAP/EBT, WIC, and Senior Farmers' Market Nutrition Program benefits. Double-dollar matching programs available during select weeks.
"I've been shopping here since I moved to Fairfield five years ago. The quality of the produce is unlike anything you'll find at a grocery store — and knowing exactly which farm it came from makes it even better."
"As a vendor, this market has been incredible. The foot traffic is consistent, the organizers are supportive, and my customers actually know the difference between farm-fresh and store-bought. They come back for it."
"We bring our kids every Saturday morning. It's become our family tradition — picking out peaches in July, apples in September, and stopping for fresh bread on the way home. This market is the heartbeat of Fairfield."
