Winter Farmers Market to be held at Elgin church

On Sunday, the Winter Farmers Market will come to Epworth United Methodist Church, Randall Road and Highland Avenue, Elgin, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Foods and gifts you buy this winter can help farm families through a crisis. Small family farm producers are planning benefit sales for the Harvest of Hope emergency fund in Wisconsin, Iowa and Illinois.

Woolen goods, farmstead milk soap, cheeses, preserves, honey and meats will all be sold at these benefit sales.

Ten percent of proceeds will be donated to the Harvest of Hope Fund. Vendors will sell what they, neighbors or small farm cooperatives make or grow from natural and sustainable practices.

Call (847) 931-5400 for details.
