Juicy peaches, ripe blackberries, fresh-cut flowers, apple-cider donuts-- farms across Illinois are hitting pick season and offering up a variety of shopping options, on-line and on-farm, to make your summer safe, fun, and delicious. Join in partnership with Buy Fresh Buy Local Illinois for the next Farm to Facebook Live Chat on Sunday, July 26th at 7:30 p.m. for an Illinois Agritourism Preview with Lt. Governor Juliana Stratton and Raghela Scavuzzo, Associate Director of Food Systems Development for Illinois Farm Bureau.

They will chat about what's in season across the state, farms happenings later this month and into the fall, what to expect as we visit these amazing venues, and ways that we can support our awesome Illinois farmers all year long through the Lt. Governor’s new #CultivatingOurCommunities campaign. You’ll also hear stories of the resilience of local farms and why the Lt. Governor believes so strongly in supporting area farms and showcasing Illinois agriculture.

Everyone that participates in the chat will be eligible for a chance to win a $50 gift certificate to use at their favorite Illinois farm.
