Joliet farmers market connects local producers with buyers

JOLIET — Fifteen years ago, Justin Dye had a dream to start a business with a farm-to-table feel, and three years ago, his dream became a reality when he started Farm Box.

“In college, I was looking at more farm-to-table operations and there really wasn’t a whole lot going on in our area at the time,” Dye said on Sunday. “(Farm Box) helps connect the local growers and producers with the communities that are around us, especially in the rural areas, where it becomes a little bit more scarce.”
