More Than Corn This Week at the Market!

Take a look at Saturday's lineup for the Morton Grove Farmers' Market.

This week at the market brings much more than the usual fruits, veggies, baked goods and other favorites. It brings all that the Morton Grove Park District has to offer!

There will be dog trainers, dancers, preschool teachers, arts and crafts, games, aerobics, and the list goes on. We will also welcome The Worm Girl as well as community groups.

Corn is king at the market this week, along with berries, lettuce, kohlrabi, broccoli, zucchini, peaches, musk mellon, sweet onions, baby portobella mushrooms, carrots, beets, cauliflower in white, yellow and purple, cut flowers, along with lots more bounty from the farm.

Your sweet tooth will appreciate the goodies at Maiers Bakery, Le Flour, Joy Nuts and Dipped (chocolate-dipped pretzels served cold right out of the fridge). Need something healthier? Try some hand-stretched string cheese from our cheese monger and fresh breads to dip in honey or herbal olive oils.

Our newest vendor is a knife sharpener, so bring your blades and see how much easier it will be to prune, chop and cut in your garden, kitchen and craft rooms.
