For South Peoria residents like Dorotha Williams and Bobette Shrode, the opening of Market 309 fills a need they ve had for three years.
That s when two Kroger supermarkets in Peoria closed, and south side and East Bluff residents lost their neighborhood grocery stores and access to nearby, economically priced fresh produce.
Market 309 provides that access again. Residents of the 61605 ZIP code can visit the effort by Peoria Grown, a not-for-profit that has set up shop from noon to 3 p.m. each Sunday at Logan Recreation Center, 1414 S. Livingston St.
There, for $5, visitors can fill a paper sack with as much fresh produce as they wish to carry. Selection in the first week included apples, oranges, bananas, bell peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers and cilantro greens, provided to Peoria Grown at cost by Hy-Vee at Sheridan Village.
