There are regular weekly vendors, including Hilary's cookies, organic vegetable farmers, a taco/tamale stand, Tamales Express, that sells mangos on sticks, as well as two rotating food trucks. Additional draws are the terrific kids' activities, including a concert, the bouncey house, various activity stations such as baby sensory tents, rock painting, sandbox, water toys, and more. After 6pm the playground opens. We basically love the organizers and have become regulars over the course of this summer/fall. I grew up in Chicago, and lived here a good portion of my life, but finally, have gotten to a point where it feels like I have a neighborhood in Chicago. Can't wait for next year.

A few too many strollers for my taste, but it's worth dodging them to get to the produce...and cheese...and bread. Wonderful selection of fruits and vegetables. Worth a stop if you haven't been (go early for best selection, obviously).

Start out with a couple of Michigan Farms that have whatever produce is in season as well as some fresh herbs.... great strawberries & rhubarb today! There's a good bread shop as well as a cheese vendor too. This year there is a new vendor from Altorf, Illinois called John Bailey Farms/ they have 3 types of outstanding honey as well as jellies & pickled goods! The honey is outstanding and decently priced. Again, not the biggest Farmers Market but they have some quality stuff if you look around. Talk later

The crowds…read morehave definitely gotten a lot bigger over the last year, but it's great to see more people have discovered it and are enjoying it. There are so many great stands, backlot coffee, irene's bagels, barkeries, fruit and veggies stands, art, fresh flowers, and more! One of our favorites this summer was the mango stand. So yummy and fresh! Last fall they had a Halloween Party and petting zoo that was super fun. Not sure when it is this year but hopefully we can attend again!

This is a good time! Lots of veggies, herbs and unexpected things. Food vendors. A coffee shop…read more Pastries. It gets pretty packed so come early! The vibe of the crowd flows with the weather.

Once upon a time, there was a Ravenswood Farmers Market. It was around for 7 years or but... it…read morewasn't very good. That iteration with that name ended in 2023, and this year it was re-established. You'd be forgiven for thinking it was the same old market, because it's located at the same place (the parking lot of Ravenswood Covenant Church). But this is the new and improved version and it's really great! I think I saw that Hillary's Cookies, a bakery in Lincoln Square, took the lead in coordinating this along with RCC. Some of the vendors remain the same but there are added booths. There's a community booth that spotlights a neighborhood resource or organization; this past week a Girl Scout troop was selling cookies, candles, bath products and so on for a trip. I really love that there are children's activities set up; there was a bounce house, a water play area, and a little table set up where there were some children coloring and whatnot. It's a food-only market, unlike some farmers markets that also have an area for craft or art vendors to set up. There's at least one farm booth (Patyk Farms), as well as several booths offering food at the market ready to eat. They have an area set up with tables so folks can enjoy their meal. This past week when I went there was a booth selling olive oils and vinegars; a BBQ booth; a Mediterranean food booth; Snack Lab; the Lincoln Ice Cream Company; Hillary's Cookies, of course; and others. It was a nice assortment of vendors and cuisines. With a little musical entertainment to boot! This market is really a success, better even than some other, more established farmer's markets in the neighborhood (*cough* Lincoln Square *cough*), and we're really lucky to have this one happening right here in Ravenswood.

I first came across C & D family farms through a farmer's market and have occasionally bought meat…read moreand eggs from them and have always been satisfied. I recently tried home delivery for the first time and was really happy. The ordering process is a bit unusual - because most items are sold by the pound and the exact weight of each package isn't known when you order - you put in the order and then the day before the delivery they will email you and let you know your exact total and how to pay (cash, check, credit card over the phone, Zelle, Venmo, etc) The prices are high. I think this is to be expected for a local farm rather than the industrial supply chains that support your local grocery store. For me, this is a worthwhile tradeoff - but don't come here looking for something really cheap.

From the owner: All natural pasture raised meats and eggs. We are a co-op of 5 small family farms bringing frozen…read moremeats and fresh eggs to the Chicagoland area. We are at farmers markets during the summer months and home deliver for no extra charge all year round.

The market is small, tiny compared to Green City Market in Lincoln Park or even the Daley Plaza Market but has a good variety of vendors. Multiple farm stands, a stall selling canned goods, a butcher, and fresh made pasta. I grabbed perfect cherry tomatoes from a stall I didn't get the name of (eeek) and on a whim also got half a load of garlic bread from pHlour bakery and cafe. The bread was prize worth. If you're lucky enough to get off at Southport get your produce here!

Unfortunately most of the vendors were closing up for the day when I arrive. The few that were opened had sone great stuff. Artisanal cheese and bread vendors. Are variety of vegetable vendors with one with a multiple varieties of garlic. Oh there's was one really great shop which was a combination of vintage style and a whole bunch the owner designed. I need to get there early next time when all the vendors are stocked and open, you should too!

I like to shop farmers markets and am so pleased with the one closest to my home! Holding the…read moremarket two times a week at alternate hours is brilliant. The farmers here bring really quality produce. I walk the market first and peruse all offerings before buying anything. It is a quick walk and worth it to compare quality and prices. Regarding prices, I know from one vendor they assess product prices against one another so there isn't too great a variance on any item. I will buy broccoli from one vendor and tomatoes from other, mainly based on quality. There is a mushroom guy that turned me on to crimini mushrooms over white buttons and I really appreciated his advice. The crimini have a wonderful, earthy depth of flavor and saute' so nicely. I can't speak to the prepared foods that are here as I avoid them.

For 2024, the market has moved to a different area to the lot by Old Town School of Folk. I…read moreactually like this location exponentially better than where it used to be. In fact, I only had ever been there once or twice before because the location was difficult for me to get to before they closed up for the evening. In 2024, I've been to the market three times since it opened month or so ago, which is more than I had been in the 15 years prior. There's a nice variety of booths here, from the plants, fruits, and veggies to some prepared foods. Vendors are all helpful and friendly. A favorite new find is the SnackLab, a company that makes a few items but their potato chips are the best--in particular the Rosemary Lemon flavor. This is the best flavor combo and hard to pass up! It's not my favorite of the farmers markets around; there are better ones in my opinion. But it's not bad and certainly worth it if in the area.
