Located in Chicago, Illinois, The Farmer at the Green brings together local farmers, food artisans, and community members for a vibrant open-air marketplace.
Operating Tuesdays 11 AM - 3 PM, June 2 - September 29 (Seasonal), this market follows a regular schedule that shoppers can plan around.
From Vegetables, Fruits, Eggs, Honey, and Crafts, The Farmer at the Green gives shoppers access to a wide range of locally sourced products each market day.
Farmers markets like The Farmer at the Green represent a fundamentally different way of accessing food compared to a supermarket. When you shop at The Farmer at the Green, the person selling you tomatoes is often the same person who planted them — a level of transparency and traceability that industrial food systems cannot replicate. That direct relationship is what draws many Chicago residents to the market week after week.
The selection at The Farmer at the Green changes as the growing season progresses. Early in the season, expect cool-weather crops like salad greens, radishes, and herbs. Peak summer brings the widest variety — tomatoes, peppers, corn, stone fruits, and squash. By fall, the market shifts toward storage vegetables, apples, pears, preserves, and baked goods that make use of seasonal harvests. This seasonal rhythm is something you feel at a farmers market in a way you never do in a grocery store.
The Farmer at the Green is committed to serving all members of the Chicago community. SNAP/EBT benefits are accepted, meaning nutrition assistance recipients can use their benefits to buy fresh, locally grown produce and other eligible items directly from vendors. These programs reflect a broader commitment to food access that many farmers market organizers across Illinois have prioritized in recent years.
