About Carbondale Community Farmers Marekt
Our in-person winter season farmers market is open December through March in the east wing of the University Mall in Carbondale. Customers can access the market via an exterior entrance on the east side of the building (near the movie theater) or through the mall.
 

Carbondale Community Farmers Market (CCFM) is a producer only farmers market, whose goal is to provide a community based space for local producers, farmers, and artisans to retail their products.  We highly encourage participants to provide products that are sustainably produced and ethically raised.  Our goal of the market is to educate our community on the importance of healthy locally produced food and to provide access to these products or services.  CCFM is a program of Food Works, a 501(c)(3) not for profit organization.
