Welcome to the
Heartland Local Food Network!
What is a local food network? There isn’t one right answer to that question. At the Heartland Local Food Network we believe it starts with linking and promoting community resources that support locally grown food. The Heartland Local Food Network is a community based organization that works to connect the parts of a sustainable food system. A strong local food system benefits the community by supporting local family farms, keeping money in the local economy, protecting the environment, providing a safe and reliable food source, as well as producing food that is nutrient-rich, fresher, and better tasting.

Illinois Farmers Market LINK Guide
This manual was developed by Heartland Local Food Network, Inc., based on its experience supporting implementation of a LINK program at the Downtown Bloomington Farmers’ Market in Bloomington, Illinois. By sharing this information, we hope to make it easier for other markets to achieve the same goal – and to expand access to fresh, healthy food for low-income residents throughout the state of Illinois.
