Food Works Winter Farmers Market

The Food Works Winter Farmers Market is an indoor farmers market located inside the University Mall Theater Entrance. It runs every Saturday from December to March from 9am-12pm. 

The winter market is a staple in the Carbondale community, as it gives our customers access to fresh produce, locally sourced meat, dairy, eggs, and other handcrafted items when the outdoor markets close for the season. We serve communities of all income levels and we accept cash, cards, and SNAP.

The Food Works Winter Market offers something for everyone! In addition to a diverse market with over 40 vendors, join us for weekly Kids Club activities, cooking demos featuring products from our local vendors, live music, and other fun events to look forward to, like the annual seed swap and plant giveaway!

Did you know that you can DOUBLE the amount of your EBT benefits with our Link Match program? Thanks to the Illinois’ Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), for every $1 you spend at the winter market with your Link Card, you'll get $1 in Link Match coupons to be used on fresh fruits and veggies. That means you can get up to an additional $25/swipe in FREE produce, with unlimited swipes, on every transaction!

We are grateful for the support of our wonderful community partners.
