Love the Farmers Market and I was so excited to find out that they'll be around through October. They have lots of farmers that sell fresh veg and fruit, bouquets, fresh baked breads and pastries, eggs, cheese, artesanal items and more! 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! read more

Nothings says summer like going to a farmers market on the weekend. Wicker park farmers market is a cute small farmers market. They had a lot of different vendors who were selling fresh veggies, fruits, candles, clothes, desserts, bagels, matcha and much more! It was pretty busy too. We tried some matcha and fresh coconut water and walked around a bit. The fountain in the middle of the park was cute too. read more

Items can get expensive at times, but I just find it fun to stroll around, grab a cool drink and soak up the sun. You gotta go at least once! Don't expect to spend more than an hour here since the park isn't that big. read more

Wicker Park - Potatoes! - Sweet potatoes are arranged in green crates at a farmers market, with signs indicating organic and specific farm sources. - Farmers Market Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Closest Farmer's Market to me. This market is dog friendly and relatively easy to get to. Only a 3 minute walk from the Blue Line (Damen Exit). I have been several times. The market has an array of vendors: veggies, fruit, flowers, dog treats, milk, meat, cheese, nuts, coffee, tea, self-care, etc. Very diverse place. Easily can grab a cup of brewed coffee or tea and a breakfast item while you walk around. Some of our favorites: Chai Tea by Leely, Fem Rituals (Shea Butter) and Johnny Empandas. Hands down I usually do to this market for the self-care items. I really like the Shea Butter products from Fem Rituals. My favorite is the whipped shea butter and body oils. My husband also enjoys her whipped shea butter and it is apart of his winter routine to keep skin conditioned and healthy. Parking can be tricky but an easy place to walk or bike if you live in Bucktown or Wicker Park. read more

This was my first farmers market of the summer and I was so exciting to see all the vendors they have to offer! There's variety of organic vegetables, bakery, snacks, drink, and supplements you can choose from. I tried a donut from one of the vendors, and fresh squeeze mint blueberry juice and it was delicious. Park might be a little pain as there's many people who also wanted to be out and about. I came around 10:30am and it was perfect before the crowds. read more

Even though this is a smaller farmers market, you can still find all your Sunday farmers market needs. Treat yourself to some heirloom tomatoes or how about a delicious personal sized pie by Elsie Mae's Bakery! Don't like sweets? Well, pies... pizza pies are also sold here. We initial came here to see the butcher venders. We came here a second time for the crepes (delicious and filling), but also ended up leaving with some bone in pork chops (yum!!), a cherry almond butter pie (Elsie Mae is a pie god), and also some yukon potatoes! A little more low key than Logan Square Farmers Market. To give you an idea, we usually spend 30 minutes here. Where as, LSFM we spend around an hour at. It still holds its own as a relaxing Sunday morning activity. Check it out! read more

Amazing outside market open on Sunday. Fresh fruits and vegetables, and pastries. Nice for an outside stroll or grabbing some quick items. Highly recommended. read more

Wicker Park - Outside - Farmers Market Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

So cute! Decided to go exploring around the neighborhoods on a Sunday morning and checked out the market. Very small, but has some neat local vendors. I was surprised with some of the prices being more costly (but, you're shopping local). There were serval musical performances going on, you can buy yummy donuts, nitro coffee, and other household items besides produce. read more

Wicker Park - Farmers Market Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

So awesome. Smaller than my fave, but co second place with only one other, and I've been known to do 4 a week. I'm probably the oldest visitor by 35 years so figure out what you want on a Sunday. Playground is attached, dogs allowed, a great variety of vendors, I'd like music beginning at opening. Narrow, so be mindful of stopping to just chat. Come early. read more

Great little farmers market on Sunday's. Not too big, but has everything one would like, from fresh vegetables to honey, cheese and meats. I've been trying to live off the land as much as I can and avoid GMO and poison coated fruits and vegetables as much as possible and farmers markets give me this. They also have food booths available and I had the most tastiest vegan taco. The farmers market is located inside Wicker Park park. They have things for the kids too from big jumpy inflatables to the kid playground so it's super kid and family friendly. There is also live music as well, which is also nice to have on a warm summer afternoon. The Farmers market ends at 2pm. It can get crowded especially with strollers and finding a park can be a pain if you're driving. The cost is a little bit more for a bunch of let's say Kale or Spinach than what you would pay for it organic at Whole Foods. I paid $2.50 for a bunch of Kale and $2.00 for a cucumber, but it's BIG, but I don't mind because Whole Foods can offer that bulk discount price versus the actual small farmers can't and honestly if I can get my vegetables straight out the ground, fresh, and picked the night before and support small farmers over big industry, I will happily pay an additional .50 to $1.00 for this healthier option. I will be back. read more

I'll give this place more of a pass than the Logan Square Farmers' Market for two reasons: 1. Although it has fewer booths, it blends into the park and therefore doesn't look so pathetic; and 2. One of those booths is an extensive produce outfit selling a few dozen items, which is to say, exactly what a vendor at a farmers' market SHOULD be. I bought strawberries, green onions, and potatoes here. If corn were in season yet, I bet they would have had it, and I could have made an awesome chowder to take to work for lunches this week. Anyway, there's also live music at this joint and a fun but relaxed family atmosphere (which probably has everything to do with the park), so I could see myself coming back here although probably not for shopping. read more

I was a little disappointed. You certainly CAN accomplish most of your grocery shopping here and there are also stands from local restaurants and vendors, but it is extraordinarily small and somewhat pricey. I also felt kind of strange being there without a kid (?) it's basically on a playground. read more

Wicker Park - Farmers Market Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Small, but good. If you get there early enough, you can definitely find a good selection of meat/produce/dairy/flowers/etc. All of the stands have very friendly folks willing to help with whatever you're looking for. Sometimes, there are some interesting vegetables and items for sale, so, if you are willing to poke around for a bit, you will probably find something tasty! read more

Love it! Great fruits and veggies! Would Lovevto see a cut flower garden!!! So glad you're open on Sunday

I highly enjoyed walking over to the farmers market in Wicker Park this season! They have a good bit of vendors there and I always left with something. Plus it's at the park and you can grab a treat and take a seat and enjoy it! My favorite thing to do is first grab a coffee and then an almond croissant from any one of the baked good vendors. Then, lay out on the lawn at the park and take it all in. It's a fantastic way to start your Sunday. Give it a go before the season ends at the end of October! read more

Even this grumpy camper here likes the Wicker Park Farmers Market....and she is hard to please. And like to talk about herself using the 3rd person. Just because. Listen. It's nothing like home, sure (ahhhh.....the Provence markers of my childhood summers....it would make you WEEP. Yes. It would.) BUT: - it's in a cute park - Hipster Central of course, but still a feast for the eyes and even more fun for people watching. And being aware of the latest innovations in stroller technology. This stalker doesn't need more to be happy. - it's on Sunday morning.s You have time to brunch before, after or even during your produce shopping (they have a crêpe stand, and a pizza guy if you really insist on having your carbs under this form). Before and after? Why not? - it's rather small but you can find everything you need. I am in love with the farmer's stand in the middle. They offer a great variety of potatoes, onions, fresh garlic, carrots, beets, tomatoes, pickles, eggplants (including Turkish, which I highly recommend) and.....plastic bags to store them all up for your walk/ride/drive home. YUMMY. Oh so. - don't miss the meat guy - his lamb is delish and he has quite a lot to offer. Just.ask. - FLOWERS!!!!!!!!!!!! Beautiful, bountiful and cheap! If your BF or hubby is a cheap fellow, buy them for yourself! you deserve it. - Farmers market are just the way to go. Period. Make yourself, your family, your body a favor and buy fresh and local. It's all worth it. read more

We're kinda new to the Chicago Farmer's Market habit but have committed to making an effort considering our growing appreciation for the multi-faceted importance of buying from local farmers. The Wicker Park Farmer's Market is relatively small (though I'm sure it will grow over the years): there are 2 main veggie vendors, one fruit vendor, one small vendor of a limited selection of baked goods, one main flower vendor (and then another guy that just sells sunflowers at $1/stem) and a few other vendors of homemade specialty consumables. While the selection of vendors is limited, the selection of veggies was impressive: 9 different types of apples, 10 different types of potatoes, 6 different types of onions, etc. This is great for the gourmet-types looking for unusual varieties of produce for their culinary creations. We purchased the loveliest bunch of celery I've ever seen and had the pleasure of eating the most amazing peach I've ever tasted. I don't know why, but for some reason I had it in my head that goods at Farmer's Markets were supposed to be inexpensive relative to what you find in groceries. This is NOT the case, it's actually a bit on the expensive side. But I suppose this makes sense: the large-scale farmers that grocers buy from have economies of scale, gas is expensive and I can imagine that small farmers must price their goods to account for the inevitable waste of unpurchased produce. It's definitely worth the money (if you can afford to pay for your conscience) but slightly disappointing. I would also like to have seen other "convenience vendors" in the mix - like a coffee or soft-drink vendor. It would've been nice to grab a beverage and enjoy the gorgeous summer morning by lingering in the park for a while after our shopping was done. read more

You'll never understand the importance of locally grown foods unless you visit a farmers market. It gives you a new appreciation for the food you eat, and talking to the farmers is always fascinating. Its my favorite way to spend a Sunday morning. I love picking up fresh basil and cilantro: you'll never want to use the dried varieties again. And you can always find great tomatoes, apples, and corn. Also, theres a wonderful mother-daughter team that sell fresh flowers, including the longest-lasting lilies ever. Beyond the fresh items, you can get great stuff in a jar/bottle, too: the pickled mushrooms and various sauces are great; I love the raspberry vinegar guy, although I haven't seen him in awhile; and I just tried tomato preserves for the first time - wow (note: a delicious accompaniment to grilled cheese). Bring cash and support the Wicker Park farmer's market! read more

It seems like the biggest knock on the Wicker Park Farmers Market is that it is small, which I will not disagree with one bit. As far as Farmers Markets go this is for sure a small one - maybe 15 vendors I would guess. But that being said I don't see that as a problem as you get what you need. It's not like the small size prohibits you from finding something - if it's in season, it will be here. And really do you need 100 tables of the same stuff? 348/365 read more

Yelpers, take a minute to realize how lucky we all are with so many options for awesome produce and speciality baked goods. Very kickass! The Wicker Park Farmer's Market offers a great resource for buyers and sellers alike. Located on the northwest corner of Wicker Park proper, the Market is a delightful tour of farmfresh fruits and vegetables punched up with a handful of small batch breads and pastries. Serious cooks can leave with ingredients for a kickass salad or gorgeous fruit bowl, as the produce ranges from felt-soft lettuce to sweetly mellow blueberries. Handmade herbal breads and wonderfully butter-rich cookies abound at the bakers' tables too. The friendly Market vibe is augenmented by Wicker Park community groups passing out information about the area and other neighborhood happenings. Canines and strollers are in obvious attendance, so definitely be in a good mood when it comes to "sprogs and dogs". A great summer time resource for the Wicker Park residents! read more

I love this little market! Small in scale with just the right amount of whelm. I came here for the first time to pick up my csa share from Peasants' Plot Farm. So lovely and the best tasting produce. Give em a try!! But even if I wasn't picking up my share I would come back. I got here early enough so the crowd was just tricklin' in...I like getting first pick* The nicest farmers and vendors. A respectful crowd as well. A great mix of baked goodies, flowers, and produce. Taste tested some strawberries and then got the best tasting blueberry muffin. read more

What a fantastic, charming little farmer's market! If I knew they wouldn't get squished on the airplane ride home, I totally would have bought a bag of beautiful heirloom tomatoes, fresh herbs, and some delicious pastries. There aren't a ton of vendors to be found here (at least not today when I visited - it may get larger as the season goes along), but it's a nice mix: flowers, potted herbs, all kinds of fresh veg and leafy greens, and I saw two meat co-ops, which have always intrigued me. If I didn't eat out so much and could get back into the habit of cooking, I would definitely sign up for one. You can also get in some good people and dog watching here. Being from Colorado where everyone dresses down, I must say it was nice to see peeps dressed up even to hit the farmer's market. This place is definitely worth a stop if you're in the 'hood. read more

I don't know how I've missed the Wicker Park farmer's market all these years! I recently did some volunteer work here and was having a hard time staying in my booth. There is so much to explore! They have the standard crepe stand and also a lot of produce vendors, which is something that I think is a little lacking at the Logan Square market. They also have "the cheese guy" who was frying up some cheese for samples. Yes, frying up cheese. Mmmmm! He also had some garlic and dill cheese curds. Hello cheese man, you had me at curds. One of my favorite booths is the organic vegetable booth. The ladies are so sweet and their produce looked amazing! read more

I adore the Farmer's Market and when it's in one of my favorite neighborhoods, the experience is even better. Wicker Park's farmer's market is on the smaller side, but still offers a good amount of stands to poke around and sample. I had my first taste of smoked string cheese here - seriously so good! A must for cheese lovers. They didn't have many bouquets to choose from, but I still managed to find a decent bunch. The produce area offers enough veggies and fruits. Overall, worth a walk-through on a Sunday afternoon. read more

Wicker Park - Farmers Market Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Isn't the point of the farmers market to get a little bit of a better deal and support farmers? The prices are very high more than Whole Foods. Is Wicker Park charging insane rent to the Farmers? Today was my last time a small box of tomatoes for $8.00 put me over the edge. read more

how about the rasberry vinegar guy? shit's delicious but talk him down to $5, he seems like he's got a trust fund. I also enjoy the biker lady who sells the fabulous sea salt and olive oil ciabatta. I like the character of this market better than any of the other ones. read more

As others have said, this is a smaller farmer's market in Wicker Park. I went today and there were about 10 stands selling vegetables/fruit, bread/pastries, cheese, tamales, flowers, and crepes. It was very cute and all of the people working were friendly and allowed samples if you asked :) Walk through once and then make your decisions, because even though it was small, the prices varied quite a bit. 251/365 read more

Friendly people, good choices, quality items- delightful! ALSO the Link benefits for those who need them are outstanding, highly recommend.

The people are very friendly. The selection is small. Most stands are a little over priced. read more

I go to this farmer's market every Sunday. The quality of the produce I have found here is amazing. The prices aren't too insane either. My favorite farm vender is at the end, but they huge selection of fruits and vegetables. For example, last week they had 8 different types of apples, several types of heirloom tomatoes, 4-6 different types baby potatoes, etc... I got the world's BEST cherry tomatoes. I HIGHLY recommend buying produce here, especially since it supports local farmers. read more

I always look forward to this market opening. They have great produce and flowers. I love the different types of egg plants and potatoes you can get here. A must for every person who likes to cook. Make sure to take enough cash because you will want to buy a lot. read more

All of the stalls have a sign saying they accept SNAP, but when challenged to pay using SNAP, less than half of the vendors knew how to, or at least they pretended not to know how. This is subtle income-based discrimination. There is apparently no requirement for vendors who claim to accept SNAP to prove it to anyone in the government before being able to display the sign. There SHOULD be an inspection to resolve this issue, but of course that won't happen. read more

Sure its not huge but it has a decent amount of booths and is perfect to stop by while on a Sunday walk.

I want to give this a 4 because I do think this is a lovely little market, but am going to go with a 3 primarily driven by the ridiculously high prices probably driven by the fact that there are very few vendors. I do not mind paying a little more for good quality produce (although, I must say before this market, I always went to farmer's market to save money), but I think it is just outrageous. I know these guys have to charge more for being local and driving it to Wicker Park, but $6/lb for heirloom potatoes and $5 for a small container of blueberries and $10 for half a blueberry pie and $2 for a sunflower?! REALLY?! I spent about $50 last Saturday and walked away with 2 lbs of tomatoes, 1 lb of cucumbers, 1 little container of baby squash, 4 baby onions, blueberry crumb bread, 10 oz of mushrooms and 1 tiny container of berries. I would anticipate that being around $30. Maybe I'm cheap... I guess I'll stick with Whole Foods (ha! first time I used cheap and Whole Foods in a sentence) and Stanley's and check out one of the larger farmer's markets in the hopes of finding cheaper greens to munch on or I could become a meatarian... Pros - walking distance from me, not crowded mostly due to the fact that there are not very many vendors, decent selection although primarily from 2 vendors when it comes to veggies. Cons - prices, no coffee vendors, come on cookie people, can't you sell some coffee with your baked goods?! read more

This is a perfect little farmers market. They have everything you could possibly need to make a wonderful meal. I especially like the granola this year! Going back next weekend to buy mass quantities. read more

It's pleasant, but small. But really, how much of a selection do you need?The atmosphere is really lovely if you enjoy (or at least don't mind) children. One reviewer already said if you drive, it's probably not worth it for the distance, plus parking nearby isn't that easy. But I think anyone that lives in the vicinity is happy it is here, and if that is true for you, make sure to shop here occasionally. Also, if there is another Logan Square-farmers-market-closing scare like last year, surely this market could welcome more vendors. read more

There is so much good stuff here! The cheese is outstanding - very gourmet. Try the maple syrup aged in whiskey barrels. They have a huge kids play place and live music too. read more

Stopped by here briefly for some Stamper Cheese. Didn't venture through the entire market but it is different from LSFM. Held within the park under the shade of the trees you feel more intimate with the shops. Closed in by the park border provides a smaller and warmer experience that differs from other farmers markets. Bring cash and get your fresh produce. read more

This is a nice little farmers market that I come on Sundays. The main vegetable vendor (the big one...sorry I am terrible with names) has really fresh and good produce. I am never disappointed when buying from them. I disagree with those who call this pricey. It is on par with other markets, and if you think about how much $$$ people spend on eating out and convenience prepackaged items, the farmers market is a far better value. The only downside is its hard to get eggs as there's only 1 vendor and it sells quickly if it's offered at all, and I haven't found a great yogurt vendor yet. However, the quality here is so much above and beyond other produces at most other places (I am looking at you Jewel and your non-degradable strawberries) I cannot really complain. read more
