We've got fresh-baked sourdough and baguettes from Central Illinois Bakehouse, award-winning goat cheeses from Prairie Fruits Farm & Creamery, 100% grass-fed beef, and pasture-raised chicken from Bland Family Farm.

Whether you're stocking up for the week, picking up something special for holiday hosting, or just treating yourself to a Saturday morning croissant and good coffee, we've got you covered with food grown and made right here in Central Illinois.

Open every Saturday, year-round. See you this weekend.

At Prairie Fruits Farm & Creamery, the story of Salt Fork Food Works truly begins.

Our working farm is home to a beloved herd of dairy goats, apple orchards, and seasonal gardens, all cared for with intention and love.

From this land, our talented cheesemakers craft French-style chèvres and bloomy rind cheeses year-round, each bite reflecting the connection between our animals, our soil, and your table.

It’s more than a creamery, it’s a gathering place for food lovers.

From farm dinners and tours to events that celebrate the seasons, Prairie Fruits Farm brings people together through food, community, and craft.

Where to Find Our Cheeses:

Featured on the menus at Martinelli’s Market, Pekara, and Espresso Royale Cafés

Available for retail sale online, at our on-farm store, and at Martinelli’s Market

Find us at local grocers across Central Illinois, Chicago, and St. Louis

Visit us at farmers markets for the freshest selection and seasonal flavors

From creamy chèvre to the first apples of fall, Prairie Fruits Farm is where community and craft come together.
