Farm To City Harvest Store

09/24/2026

Looking for 1 or 2 people available tomorrow (FRIDAY 9/25) morning at 8 am to help remove the door and a couple of windows. Please let me know if you can assist. Likely 2-3 hours. No experience necessary!

The past few days work has begun on the exterior. And to those that aren’t aware of the project, the building will look pretty “ugly” the next 30-45 days with dust from brickwork, boards in windows, and scaffolding on the sidewalk. The masonry work will include preparation for the new windows and doors, as well as repairing and solidifying all the exterior brickwork.
As a reminder, we’ve included a rendering of the exterior to remind every one the outside plan and that the temporary mess is the beginning of a building transformation.

Farmer City hopes to open its first grocery store in nearly a decade early next year.

CONSTRUCTION BEGINS! Thursday (9/17) morning at 8 am exterior work begins at the Farm to City Harvest Store. While the masonry crew gets to work preparing for new windows and doors, some volunteer help is needed to help remove the old doors and windows. We will have a professional leading the crew, so experience is not necessary, but bring some gloves.

Looking for 2 or 3 people to help out. Comment or PM so we know who and how many can assist.

Thank you in advance for your help!

TAKE A LOOK at the architect’s rendering of the Farm to City Harvest Store. Work continues on final interior demo and bids for construction will begin soon!

We could really use your help with a final Demo Day on Saturday June 27th from 8 am - 1 pm. Bring tools, gloves, masks, and a willingness to help make a difference!

Thanks for the fantastic group that committed a few hours this morning to get the Farm to City Harvest Store one step closer to providing a local food source to Farmer City. If you missed this opportunity, don’t worry, Demo Day 2 is being planned.
