Oak Park Farmers’ Market to begin 48th season

The Oak Park Farmers’ Market returns for its 48th season on Sat., May 20. The Market is held from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. every Saturday from opening day through October in the Pilgrim Congregational Church parking lot, 460 Lake St., one block west of Ridgeland Avenue.

More than two dozen independent farmers and producers participate in the Farmers’ Market, offering everything from fresh fruits and vegetables to meat, cheese, eggs, flowers, bread, grains and honey.

The Market also features donuts made on-site, fresh coffee and live bluegrass music. Non-profit bake sales are offered most Saturdays.

A majority of vendors accept credit/debit cards, as well as WIC and senior coupons. All vendors accept LINK cards.

Special events are held throughout the season, starting with Go Green Days on opening day and May 27 highlighting sustainability efforts in Oak Park.

Support for Market administration comes from sales of a variety of items available at the information tent, including reusable shopping bags and t-shirts.
