To sell your products to IL-EATS, you must be a socially disadvantaged grower or producer in Illinois. Products must be on the IL-EATS Allowable Foods List and grown or produced in Illinois. Lead agencies will purchase products from farmers at  Fair Market Value. 

If you want to sell your products to this program, you MUST partner with a lead agency. If you would like support connecting with a lead agency, please contact us at uie-lfpa@illinois.edu.

For a comprehensive guide to participating in the program, review the Farmer Welcome Packet and  Farmer Welcome Webinar. These resources cover the IL-EATS food safety and labeling requirements, how to use Fair Market Value, and provide guidance to farmers interested in selling their products to IL-EATS.
