Springfield Old Capitol Farmers Market serves Springfield and the surrounding Illinois community by creating a direct marketplace between local producers and the people who depend on fresh, locally sourced food.
What makes Springfield Old Capitol Farmers Market worth visiting is not just the products available — it is the context those products come with.

That knowledge is freely shared at a farmers market in a way that never happens in a conventional grocery setting.
Seasonality shapes everything at Springfield Old Capitol Farmers Market. Unlike a supermarket that stocks tomatoes in January, farmers markets are honest about what is actually ripe. What you find at Springfield Old Capitol Farmers Market today reflects what the farms in the Springfield region are currently producing — nothing more, nothing less. This connection to the actual growing season is something that many regular market shoppers come to value deeply.
Springfield Old Capitol Farmers Market also serves as a gathering point for the Springfield community. Regular shoppers often describe the market as much a social outing as a grocery run. Familiar faces, known vendors, and the rhythm of a weekly market create a kind of community continuity that is increasingly rare. For many families, a Saturday morning at Springfield Old Capitol Farmers Market is as much about being part of the neighborhood as it is about what ends up in the bag.
