Also returning this year is Link Match-DOUBLE YOUR IL LINK DOLLARS ON FRESH PRODUCE! If you are on SNAP/IL LINK and use your food benefits at Rockford Midtown Market, you can double these dollars (up to $25 per week) on farm fresh produce! This is a great way to eat healthy while using your State benefits wisely. The Link Match comes to you from LINK Up Illinois.

We're "all in" for 2026 and can't wait for you to be a part of our growing Neighborhood Farmers Market. We look forward to seeing YOU in Midtown!
