Three Weeks till the Spring Market!

In less than three weeks, the Morton Grove Farmers’ Market will have its first event of 2012.  The Spring Market will be on Saturday, May 12th from 8 am – 12 noon.  This Mother’s Day Pre-Season Sale is the first event in our new home:  6210 Dempster St.

The Morton Grove Park District is generously hosting us at their newly acquired site surrounded by Harrer Pool, Harrer Park, the Morton Grove Historical Museum and the American Legion Civic Center.

The Spring Market will feature many gift items, just in time for Mother’s Day.  While our farmers will not have any summer produce yet, they will bring early spring produce and bedding plants.

For both the Spring Market and the regular season, the Morton Grove Farmers’ Market welcomes back many of our favorite vendors from last year and are eager to get to know the new additions to our Farmers’ Market family!  This season we will have more vendors than ever! 

We plan to have all of our farmers back from last year (Blankenship Farms, Lyons Fruit Farm, Providence Farm/ Twin Garden Farms, and Red Barn Farm Market), as well as a couple of new farms (Nichols Farm & Orchard and Patyk Farms).

Shoppers will enjoy a variety of fruits, vegetables, herbs, spices, baked goods, snacks, gift items, prepared foods, drinks, and much more!  A variety of bakeries will be providing delicious gluten free and traditional products.

We will have plenty of prepared foods and drinks to enjoy at the market or bring home.  Our line up of vendors will be announced shortly.

As with our regular markets, the Spring Market will feature live entertainment, a Featured Vendor of the Week, a welcome booth, a community group, a children’s area with activities or crafts, and a sponsor table.  Visit the friendly volunteers at the Welcome Booth to learn about our vendors, what’s in season, and to enter our weekly drawing for a free basket of Market goodies.

Our regular season will run from 8 am – 12 pm every Saturday between June 2 – October 20, with the exception of June 30th.  This year’s Market promises to be our most successful so far, with wonderful vendors and exciting festivals!  There will be something for everyone each week!  Visit our website http://mgfarmersmarket.com.
