The Peoria Farmers Market at the Metro Centre was founded in 1977 by community leader Marvin L. Goodman. It was his vision to promote healthy eating while bringing-together consumers and farmers from all over Central Illinois to a marketplace with a wide variety of fresh, locally grown produce. Thirty plus years later his vision still holds true. The Peoria Farmers Market is a great place to get fresh produce, flowers, pasta, and much more. If you like to support local farmers and enjoy a relaxed atmosphere this would be your kind of place.

My husband and I are new to peoria and we're excited to try this farmers market out. It was not worth getting up early on a Saturday. There were only 4 vendors and much of the produce was spoiling already.... [more]
It is nice to have a farmers market as centrally located as this one but surely a greater selection of fruits and veggies is possible! That being said the folks that work the market are friendly and the prices are very reasonable.
I would like to challenge the Peoria Famers Market to up their standards and quality! I visit the Madison, WI farmer's market regularly (check out their rules for vendors - amazing!), and that is much more the style I would like to see.
I cannot tell you how frustrating it is to go to stalls... [more]
