Farmers' Market News

New logo…Be on the lookout for the new Oak Park Farmers’ Market logo, which was recently unveiled. The logo was developed through a process overseen by the Village’s Farmers’ Market Commission. The logo is featured on souvenir merchandise available at the Market’s information tent. Sales of the merchandise helps support the operation of the Market.

Corn roast…The Farmers’ Market’s annual corn roast is set for Aug. 13 (date has been changed from August 6). Guests can enjoy fresh-picked corn sold by the ear hot off the roaster from about 9 a.m. to noon. Be sure to bring cash as credit cards are not accepted when purchasing roasted corn.

SNAP/LINK among payment options…Making fresh produce affordable for all patrons is a priority at the Oak Park Farmers’ Market, which has been providing SNAP/LINK card processing since 2011. The Market also offers matching value coupons throughout the season. For each dollar SNAP/LINK participants spend, they receive a $1 coupon up to a maximum of $25 in coupons per cardholder per Market day. Many vendors also accept WIC and Senior Farmers’ Market Nutrition Program coupons. For more information, visit www.oak-park.us/farmersmarket.

Transportation available…Curb-to-curb transportation to and from the Oak Park Farmers’ Market is available every Saturday.
