Thank you so much to the HUNDREDS of people
who attended the Morton Grove
WINTER Farmers' Market!
We really appreciate all of our Farmers' Market friends and family.
Seeing everyone gathered together on a cold, windy morning - greeting each other, shopping for loved ones, enjoying good food and music - that's what our community market is all about!
Thanks again to all who have supported us this past year: The Morton Grove Chamber of Commerce, the Village of Morton Grove, the Morton Grove Park District, and all of our wonderful sponsors, community groups, vendors, and volunteers.
