Food Works is committed to making fresh, nutritious, locally grown food accessible to individuals and families throughout Southern Illinois. Through our farmers markets (Winter Market, Mobile Market and LEAF Market), the Link Hub and our Healthy Rx and CSA programs, we connect communities with healthy food, remove barriers to access, and strengthen the local farms that nourish our region.

Southern Illinois Link Hub
The Food Works Mobile Farmers Market connects communities across Southern Illinois with locally grown, seasonal food! Our 16-foot box truck market brings food from over 25 farmers and producers in our area to customers in locations where fresh foods might not be plentiful.

Re-LEAF Kitchen captures excess food leftover from farmers markets and turns it into value-added products. We also incubate value-added local food-centered businesses in our downtown Carbondale commercial kitchen.
