CAMBRIDGE, Ill. A new farmers market launched in Cambridge, Illinois over the weekend. community member, Gaylene Gilbert was inspired to start a market in her home town after she attended farmers markets in Iowa.
With a population just over 2,000, the small town had never hosted an event like a farmers market. Gilbert approached her assistant, Heather Feehan, with the idea of creating a local market. I was excited. I m excited to sell close to home, Feehan said, I am from Cambridge, and it s nice to have something near to have the option to sell here.
