One Week to Morton Grove Farmers' Market

Market Director Kristina Otte shares the plans for Saturday's kick-off sale.

Drum roll, please…it’s finally here!

The Morton Grove Farmers’ Market opens this Saturday at 8 a.m.

Join us any time on Saturday between 8 a.m. and 1 p.m., but keep in mind that 10 a.m. will be our ribbon-cutting ceremony at the Market, complete with local officials on hand to help us celebrate our growth and success, Boy Scouts ready for our formal flag ceremony, a student singing the National Anthem, students singing and playing their hearts out, face-painting and henna tattoos, a balloon artist who will knock your kids’ socks off… You get the idea.

Oh yeah, and in the midst of all of this, surrounding us in our village square-style layout, will be gourmet olive oils, cheeses, meats, free-range eggs, honey, salsas, lunches from Tilted Taco, alpaca wool, coffee, baked goods galore from two different bakeries, honey-nut snacks and chocolate-dipped goodies.

Bring your bags (or pick up one of our new Market bags at the Welcome Booth for $2), borrow a wagon so you can cart your goodies or kiddies around, enjoy the ’s booth for families, rain or shine, we will all be there!
