Celebrate Summer!

Next week, we'll kick off the full season roster, so even more farms & vendors to shop at the market. We've enjoyed a wonderful start to the market back in the revamped parking lot at 2301 W. Leland this season!

Tuesdays 7am - noon

Thursdays 3pm - 7pm

The Chopping Block chefs will be back in action starting next Thursday (June 4). At these bi-monthly cooking demos, you'll learn how to whip up scrumptious dishes using the freshest seasonal market ingredients.

Reminder: there will be no market this Thursday, May 28 due to the set up for Maifest Chicago.
