Home Vendors Vendor Guidelines

What We Do

Mission Statement:  To provide a friendly, convenient and reliable direct-marketing connection between customers and growers for reasonably priced Jo Daviess county homegrown, homemade, and handmade items. 

Jo Daviess county has wide-open places (some are flatter than others), lots of sunshine and good dirt.  We can grow just about anything that can handle hardiness zone 5 and certainly everything that's zone 4.  Our lush grass pastures are ideal for grazing livestock.  Jo Daviess county ranks #1 in our state for hay and pasture acreage.  Our county also ranks #1 in cows and calves in Illinois. Our market has been delivering just-picked produce, home-raised meat and delicious baked goods to consumers for 5 years now.

We are always looking for more vendors and hopefully this site will give you a way to get started.  Thanks to the generosity of St. Paul Lutheran Church on the west side of Elizabeth, we have a great Highway 20 location and plenty of room to grow.  Just introduce yourself, pay your $20/season dues to the manager, and you're ready to go. 

Our growers include life-long residents and folks who are new to the area.  Although a few customers are one-time shoppers from the highway, the overwhelming majority of customers are regulars we look forward to visiting with each week.
