Whether you arrive in a car, on a bike, or on foot with a stroller or pulling a wagon, going to the 95th Street Farmers Market is one of the best parts of summer Sunday mornings in Beverly/Morgan Park.
Filled with welcoming colors and aromas, the market features top quality regionally grown produce, fruits, herbs and flowers, as well as artisan-made products, fresh baked goods, prepared foods, and lots more.
The 95th Street Farmers Market operates in the commuter parking lot at 1835 W. 95th St. (95th and Longwood Drive) 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. each Sunday through the end of October. The market hosts live music every week and as well as complimentary face painting for kids every other week, 10 a.m. to 12 p.m.
This season the market is excited to welcome the Edna White Memorial Garden volunteers who will share information about the garden and offer some simple crafts for kids.
The market will also host the staff from the Chicago Public Library – Beverly Branch several times throughout the season, providing craft activities for kids and sharing information about their summer programming.
Weekly market highlights are posted on the 95th Street Farmers Market Facebook page and at the 95th Street Business Association website, 95thstreetba.org, under the market section.
It would be hard to visit the market and pass up the variety of tantalizing prepared foods being served. Won Kim, a local artist and chef, has once again secured a variety of restaurants who will pop up at the market throughout the season. These pop ups give market visitors an opportunity to sample food from restaurants located across the city.
A favorite from last year, Uncle Earl’s Barbeque will once again be at the market every week.
Everyone has their favorite tents where they stop to shop.
