I'm sorry, I really wanted to like this market. Don;t get me wrong, the vendors were great and we…read morebought more than we should have, honestly. But there are some significant issues. From outside in, the parking sucks. All very narrow street parking. Good luck. Then just finding the market is a challenge. An almost unmarked door just down from a coffee shop. What is this, some kind of speakeasy? Once you're in you're looking at two rooms of about 8 vendors per room. Kinda weak. And only maybe 2 of them were actual "farmers". The others had juices or baked goods or breakfast burritos or whatever. Not bad, just not exactly farmers market items en mas. The venue is...weird. It's like an artist coop or something. Really poorly suited to the market. The first thing I noticed was the smoke from cooking (burned?) breakfast foods hanging in the air. Less than ideal. The prices are stupid. Like stupid high. Sure, you expect that from "artisanal", "organic", "small batch", etc stuff. But this was over the top. $8 for a loaf of bread less than 1/3 of a loaf at any other bakery is stupid. The vendors are great, the quality is great. The space, both inside and out sucks, and the prices border on criminal. I suggest you look around for other venues if you are on a budget.

While I love the LP green city farmers market, it's incredibly crowded and if you have a car, good luck finding parking. This west loop location is smaller. There are fewer venders here than the other location, but there are far less people and finding parking isn't difficult at all. The park is also beautifully shaded and hilly. Clusters of tents are spread out a bit. You could miss a few if you don't walk around. As much as I love all of the bakery representation at the LP location, I will frequent the green city market in the west loop instead. It's so much less of a headache

The market only has a few vendors, but they are really great. I love going to look at the flowers and usually grab a pastry and coffee to take home. There are several produce and meat/egg stands, but I find everything to be a little too pricey for me to justify buying much. However, they do triple match Illinois Link! I wish the market had a few more vendors, as it gets crowded quickly and the lack of competition favors the high prices, but it is a nice thing to do each weekend. I appreciate that it is dog friendly so I can bring my dog with me to get some socialization in.

This is located just south of the Jewel-Osco in Andersonville, between Clark and Ashland on Catalpa. When I wandered around they had a variety of vendors. There were a few with prepared food, and I think at least one you could buy food for cooking later. There was a candle vendor, and obviously several vendors selling vegetables. I did finally sign up with the composting company that I had been considering. I didn't know anyone using it, as I'd liked to have used a referral code to give someone credit for the referral, but I am glad they were here for me to finish my registration. I'm hoping that as we get deeper into the season, there will be more to choose from. But the ramps I picked up were really good, and I'd be in heaven if I could find some strawberries at the market if I visit in early June.

I love the vegan basket place (see photo)...so many delicious options. Today I tried the chorizo black bean but had the breakfast scramble last time. Everyone working there is so friendly, gives recommendations and will tell you all about their business. I highly recommend- the park and the booths are beautiful and a wonderful way to spend a Sunday morning!

But it's situated rights at the Picasso of Chicago. Summer time vibes people just hanging out around the fountain and people watching. Pretty much standard fare for a farmers market. This one has a bit more jewelers and gift options. One thing I notice was the Raclette stand right in front of the Picasso. Mm... hot melt cheese! It's fun to watch too. Always fun stuff happening at Daley Plaza. Random house music parties, pop up shops, and sometimes protests. Always worth passing through when traveling through the loop. Always something fun going on and something tasty to eat.

Shoppers can find fresh seasonal produce, plants, cheese, bread, cookies, bagels,etc. (Key word is "seasonal" with the produce.) I decided to take a walk down to the Federal Plaza Farmers Market to see what was fresh. Fresh Asparagus by the pound-you pick it-(out of the basket) and they weigh it! Leeks! Herbs! Peony flowers! I am looking forward to tomato and cucumber season. For now it is asparagus, fresh "Siam Queen" Thai basil from Smits Farms is of a much better quality with larger leaves than I have found in other places in Chicago. Plus reddish-pink peonies. Look for the Alexander Calder "Flamingo" Sculpture-then you know you are in the right spot! FYI-Not all vendor's from one market go to other Chicago City Farmer's Markets during different days of the week. Which makes it all the more interesting to market hop.

Although it was not the most pleasant day weather - wise - - gray and somewhat drizzly at times AND my favorite vendor, Sputnik Coffee is no longer participating, I still enjoyed the market today. I really enjoyed chatting a little with some of the vendors: Pixie Dust Salts - sea salt mixtures like vanilla, lavendar, rosemary ; John Bailey Honey (Keisha is a delightful young lady that introduced me to the products) - not only honey, various fruit jams, applesauce ; two produce vendors : Steve Frank Farms and Cedillo's Fresh Produce. There's Running Mile Hot Sauce and Yvolina's Tamales. There was an info booth about using Link cards at farmers markets and another about the McKinley Park News. There was also a face painter. Not Just Cookies was sold out and gone by the time I got there slightly before 1 pm. According to the newsletter Broken K Ranch, Made a Mano and The Urban Canopy also participate. I noticed that from 10 am to 11 am there is "Yoga at the Farmers Market". Bring your mat, water, towel and optional blocks and strap. Suggested donation is $5. https://mckinleypark.news/events/full-calendar/event/9251-yoga-at-the-farmers-market On some market days, there is entertainment.

This is a rather pretty location for a farmers market. Because it is in the park, it seems more relaxed to me. I really liked it last year when Sputnik Coffee was here. I heard they are trying to find another coffee vendor and I sure hope they are successful! I also would like to see another bakery vendor and hopefully both will be reasonably priced and well stocked also! Farmers Market - Review #1 McKinley Park Neighborhood - Review #1

Take care of your instructor! There was a cool truck with free pizza samples. Cauliflower crust tho. My brother loves that but I'm old fashioned. A bakery had a wide array of cookies. Hot sauce table. Only one produce vendor that I can recall. The organizers need to step up their efforts to get farmers into the farmers market. That's the draw for city people: produce. How about herb vendors? Cheese? This is a great spot and this FarMar needs more attention.
