Hello Market Friends,

The Fourth of July is right around the corner, and the market is the perfect place to stock up for your holiday weekend celebrations!

Whether you’re planning a backyard cookout, gathering with friends, or simply enjoying a summer meal at home, our farmers and makers have everything you need to make it special.

The summer harvest is continuing to build with fresh produce, seasonal favorites, and plenty of inspiration waiting at the market. From grill-ready vegetables to fresh fruit, herbs, and local goods, you’ll find plenty of ways to bring the best of the season to your table.

This Thursday also brings another edition of our bi-weekly cooking demos with The Chopping Block! Stop by at 5:00 PM and see what they have cooking. You might just leave with a new recipe idea or technique to try at home.

Come celebrate summer, support local, and make the market part of your holiday weekend prep. We’ll see you there!

Join us at 2301 W Leland Avenue

Tuesdays: 7:00am–12:00pm | Thursdays: 3:00pm–7:00pm

LINK AT THE MARKET:

Shopping with LINK/SNAP at the Lincoln Square Farmers Market is easy. When you’re ready to purchase from a participating vendor, let them know you’ll be paying with your LINK/SNAP card. The vendor will give you a receipt for the items you’d like to buy. Bring that receipt to the LSRCC LINK/SNAP tent, where we’ll process your payment and mark the receipt as paid. Then simply return the paid receipt to the vendor to receive your items. If you’d like a copy of your transaction, we can send a receipt by text or email (paper receipts are not available).

Recipe Box: Radishes Get Their Moment

Radishes are one of those market finds that can sometimes be overlooked—but they deserve the spotlight!

Crisp, peppery, and full of personality, radishes are incredibly versatile and can go far beyond a simple salad topping.

There’s a reason the classic radish and butter sandwich has stood the test of time. Add a little twist with Caesar butter toast, and this humble snack becomes something that feels downright luxurious. A few slices of fresh radish, a smear of flavorful butter, and good bread are all you need.

Looking for something warmer? Roasting radishes transforms them into a completely different vegetable bringing out their natural sweetness while keeping a little of that signature bite.

These roasted radishes in brown butter make an incredible side dish alongside grilled meats, fish, or your favorite summer meal.



This week, grab a bunch of radishes and experiment. Sometimes the simplest ingredients create the most memorable dishes.

And don’t forget if you have a favorite seasonal recipe you’d like to share, send it to farmersmarket@lincolnsquare.org.
