Land Connection Foundation

Food access: tlc hosts the champaign farmers market and champaign-urbana winter farmers market each year to provide a space in our community for people to access fresh, locally grown and produced food. Through the market we work to grow the food budgets of people utilizing supplemental nutrition benefit programs for food purchases and help small, beginning farm businesses enter the direct-to-consumer market.

Illinois farmlink: we provide a website and navigation services to farmers and landowners in illinois looking to buy, sell, or lease agricultural land.

Consumer education: we create engaging content about the importance of resilient local food economy and how community members can play a role in making their food system stronger. Past successes have been a podcast, infographics, and the illinois specialty crop card series.
