There are many wonderful farms & farmers markets in the area.
Cobden has several very good places to eat including: Iron Whisk for breakfast or lunch Thurs-Sun, Downtown Abbey (hours/days to be announced), Taqueria Pequena for lunch/dinner. The Mexican Grocery in Cobden has some food supplies, but the nearest grocery is in Anna at the Kroger. There are also local farmer's markets and a Neighborhood Coop in Carbondale. The Old Feedstore in Cobden hosts a Farmer's Market twice a month on Sundays(closed for winter) where you can also get a tasty lunch. Once a month there is a delicious Fish Fry Friday at the Catholic church in Cobden. Most of the wineries have some kind of food with some having full-service. Other restaurants/caterers, special dinners & music events with food are plentiful in the Southernmost Illinois area. A binder offers suggestions and directions. You can also go on Facebook and check out the Southern Illinois Eats page - almost 20,000 members on there and lots of good reviews and referrals for good food.
