Hello Market Friends!

Summer is showing off at the market, and we are here for it! We’re seeing the first watermelons of the season—just in time for sunny days and backyard picnics.

The tomatoes have arrived in a rainbow of colors and sizes, from juicy heirlooms to sweet cherry varieties, ready to take center stage in your summer meals.

And yes, sweet corn has finally made its debut! Don’t blame the heat on “corn sweat”—instead, thank it for that irresistible, peak-season sweetness.

Our stands are also overflowing with stone fruits—think cherries, plums, nectarines, and peaches galore. Whether you’re making pies, tossing fruit into salads, or just enjoying a juicy bite on the go, there’s something for everyone this week.



Join us and savor the best flavors summer has to offer. See you at the market!

Vendor Spotlight:

Made w/Love Organic Fruit & Floral Vinegar

For five years, Made w/Love has brought hand-crafted, naturally fermented vinegars to the Lincoln Square Farmers Market.

What started during the pandemic in 2020 grew from the founder’s passion for wellness and her mission to turn “ugly” produce into something nourishing and unique.

Each vinegar ferments naturally for 30-90 days, creating probiotic-rich “vinegar with the mother,” unlike most store-bought varieties. Their Floral Vinegars are customer favorites—perfect for cooking,as well as natural hair and skincare.

Made w/Love sources ingredients directly from fellow market vendors like McKlug, Jacobson, Dotson’s, and Los Rodriguez Farms, ensuring every bottle reflects the freshest local produce.

The Recipe Box: Panzanella Salad, 3 Ways

Few dishes capture the essence of summer like a Panzanella Salad—a rustic Italian classic that celebrates fresh produce, crusty bread, and bright flavors.

What makes it truly special is its versatility. With just a few variations, you can create endless versions that suit the season’s bounty.

• Classic Panzanella – Start with the traditional approach of juicy tomatoes, cucumbers, red onion, and torn chunks of day-old bread, all tossed with a simple vinaigrette. It’s the perfect base and a reminder of how simple ingredients can shine.

• Peach & Burrata Panzanella – Give your salad a sweet twist by adding ripe peaches and creamy burrata. The combination of sweet, tangy, and creamy elements is a showstopper for summer entertaining.

• Grilled Vegetable Panzanella – Fire up the grill and add smoky depth with grilled zucchini, bell peppers, and eggplant. Top it with shaved ricotta salata for a hearty, satisfying side.

No matter which version you try, Panzanella is the ultimate way to savor seasonal produce and use up extra bread—perfect for any picnic, BBQ, or weeknight dinner!
