South Loop Farmers Market

“Good range of options at this local smaller farmers market. It’s well organized and packs quite a bit in the small park. Vendors often have samples to try which makes the stroll fun. The music selection is also great. This year we’ve seen some new vendors added and the variety looks better.”

“Support local farmers and vendors! Great market to get the essentials for healthy eating. Veggies, if that's your thing. Meat is what I go for, and Hebron Farms has the best (along with veg, fruit, local milk/cream, eggs)!”

“I love this farmer’s market! Everyone was so nice, especially the woman I spoke with at Tropicakes! The mango mousse was outstanding! The fruits and vegetables were great! I’ll definitely be back!”

“Had a good time visiting this market. Make sure to checkout items like honey. Was great in taste. Prices were a bit on higher side though but overall good experience.”

“It was super cute! Lots of great products, safe social distancing measures, and a really positive vibe. I was very impressed! Would definitely recommend.”

“One of the better farmers markets downtown. Two great locations - Grant Park and Printer’s Row - from spring through early fall, plus an indoor market at Roosevelt Collection that’s a ray of sunshine amid the gloomier, colder months. Speaking for Printer’s Row and Indoor, this market is a bit stronger on local prepared foods than produce. Stand out vendors include Banter bakery, Laconic Foods for olives and honey, Yvolina’s for incredible tamales and fiery salsa, Mezze for Greek ready-to-eat meals and dips, Jacobson Farms, Hebron Farms for dairy and meats, Fem Rituals for incense, and the best ever whiskey glazed pecans.”

“The winter indoor market is less of a farmer's market and more of a vendor market. Various restaurants, home goods, some fresh fruits and veggies were available but not that many. One thing is that several of the vendors didn't practice any sanitation with their samples - people coughing on their hands then reaching for chips, breads, etc - and that was absolutely a turn off. Also a very cramped environment indoors and overpriced for the most part. The positives is that especially in this political climate, it was nice to find and support black women owned businesses instead of other places that may or may not support DEI efforts. Surprised it goes until March because I had seen everything within the two hours that I had for free parking validation, which was more than enough time. Wouldn't go back unless I was directly in the area.”

“I've gone here a couple of times and it's usually a nice time but today it looked like a PetSmart 🤢. Everyone isn't ok with having dogs breath over their food. Some of the dogs were big and at eye level with the food. Barftastic!!! Do better. You're going to lose attendees. Make a South Loop Pet Farmers Market for people that won't leave their pets at home.”
