Hello Market Friends,

What a week! Both our Tuesday and Thursday markets saw incredible attendance, and we couldn't be more grateful for the enthusiastic support from our community.

Seeing the market buzzing with shoppers, neighbors, families, and friends reminds us why we do this and how special the Lincoln Square Farmers Market truly is.

The market continues to grow and evolve each week, with new crops arriving, familiar vendors returning, and the community showing up in force.

We hope you'll continue to make the market part of your weekly routine. Every purchase supports local farmers, food makers, and small businesses, helping to keep this community tradition thriving.



Thank you for making last week such a success. We can't do it without you, and we're excited to see what the rest of the market year has in store.

See you at the market!

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: Strawberry Season is here!!

Few moments in the market year are as anticipated as the arrival of local strawberries. Sweet, juicy, and bursting with flavor, these ruby-red gems are a sign that summer is just around the corner.

While strawberries are right at home in shortcakes, pies, and jams, they're surprisingly versatile. Toss them into a salad with greens and goat cheese, blend them into a salsa for grilled fish or chicken, or preserve their flavor in a homemade jam to enjoy long after the season ends.

The best part? Strawberries don't need much. A little sunshine, a little patience, and a trip to the market are all it takes to enjoy one of the year's most beloved harvests.



Whether you prefer them sweet, savory, or saved for later, now is the time to grab a basket or three. Strawberry season never lasts quite long enough.

Sweet Favorites:

Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp – A perfect pairing of spring's two stars.

Strawberry Vanilla Jam – Save the season for later.

Savory Surprises:

Strawberry Salsa – Excellent on fish tacos, grilled chicken, or chips.

Grilled Chicken with Strawberry-Basil Relish – A fresh take on summer grilling.

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

Thank you for being part of the Lincoln Square Farmers Market community. Your support keeps our local farmers, makers, and small businesses thriving, and helps make Lincoln Square such a place!
