Fall harvest veggies were spotted at last Sunday's market and we are told more are coming this week. There's a good chance you might even see a pumpkin or two starting this week. With the first day of fall on the horizon, not only will you see fall veggies, but mums, gourds and fall flowers. Let's embrace the season!
This very well might be the last weekend for sweet corn. Stock up!
Fall is the best time to take home fresh cut flowers. We have several farmers that are selling stunning arrangements that you can enjoy all week long.
We have apples, apples and more apples. Did we mention we have apples? This Sunday's market will be overflowing with apples. Get those pie crusts ready and those crock pots cleaned out. It's apple season!
Our next Makers Market is Sunday, September 27. There will be over 15 makers located on the Village green area. Shop local artists at the farmers' market.
If you're looking for a specific vendor at the market and can't find them, please stop by the green Skokie Farmers' Market tent and market staff will point you in the right direction.
We always want to hear from you! Please email us at farmersmarket@skokie.org with any questions!
Remember to tag us in your social media posts! We love sharing photos. You can find us on Facebook and Instagram.

Storage Tips: How to store Sweet Corn
|
To enjoy summer sweet corn months later, freeze the kernels or whole cobs:
Blanch first: Boil husked ears for 4 to 5 minutes, then cool them completely in ice water.
Choose your style: Freeze the cobs whole wrapped in foil or cut the kernels off the cob.
Pack securely: Place the kernels or cobs into heavy-duty freezer bags, press out all the excess air, and lay them flat in the freezer.

Jennifer Engel
Certified Market Manager
This season marks Jennifer’s 6th year leading the Skokie Farmers’ Market, where her passion for local food and community has helped her grow the market. She brings two decades of experience in marketing and community relations from her current role at Chicago’s North Shore Convention and Visitors Bureau.
Jennifer’s green thumb is next level—her home garden is basically a farmers market of its own. From corn to potatoes, she grows it all! Ask her about the luffas! (no they don't grow in the ocean!) Jennifer is focused on helping others and is active in many community groups. When she’s off the clock, you’ll likely find her on a trail with her partner Ira and their three rescue pups.

Steve Klebe
Assistant Manager
This is Steve's 5th year at the Skokie Farmers' Market. He is in charge of the Link /Match program, where you'll find him at the Market tent throughout the season. At home, he shares a big yard (complete with a native prairie and woodland garden) with his three rescue dogs.
A big fan of camping and Jimmy Buffett tunes, Steve is excited to be part of the Market this season. He’s looking forward to connecting with both customers and farmers—and picking up a few good gardening tips along the way!
