Market to Menu

Time: Tuesdays at 3:52 PM through September 8
Host: Laura Kennedy

Munch your way the growing season with GLT's Market to Menu, a weekly guide to choosing and preparing the best fresh produce offered at the Uptown Normal Trailside Market.

Each Tuesday, just as the Market opens, GLT's Laura Kennedy visits with Market vendors to learn how choose and prepare the best offerings of the day.

From spring's early greens and berries to high summer's tomatoes and sweet corn to the squashes and apples of autumn---Market to Menu is your guide to the bountiful harvest of central Illinois.

GLT is proud to partner with the Town of Normal, WBMD/WYZZ and the Illinois Department of Agriculture to bring you Market to Menu.
