There are regular weekly vendors, including Hilary's cookies, organic vegetable farmers, a taco/tamale stand, Tamales Express, that sells mangos on sticks, as well as two rotating food trucks. Additional draws are the terrific kids' activities, including a concert, the bouncey house, various activity stations such as baby sensory tents, rock painting, sandbox, water toys, and more. After 6pm the playground opens. We basically love the organizers and have become regulars over the course of this summer/fall. I grew up in Chicago, and lived here a good portion of my life, but finally, have gotten to a point where it feels like I have a neighborhood in Chicago. Can't wait for next year.

Ravenswood Community Farmers Market

Once upon a time, there was a Ravenswood Farmers Market. It was around for 7 years or but... it…read morewasn't very good. That iteration with that name ended in 2023, and this year it was re-established. You'd be forgiven for thinking it was the same old market, because it's located at the same place (the parking lot of Ravenswood Covenant Church). But this is the new and improved version and it's really great! I think I saw that Hillary's Cookies, a bakery in Lincoln Square, took the lead in coordinating this along with RCC. Some of the vendors remain the same but there are added booths. There's a community booth that spotlights a neighborhood resource or organization; this past week a Girl Scout troop was selling cookies, candles, bath products and so on for a trip. I really love that there are children's activities set up; there was a bounce house, a water play area, and a little table set up where there were some children coloring and whatnot. It's a food-only market, unlike some farmers markets that also have an area for craft or art vendors to set up. There's at least one farm booth (Patyk Farms), as well as several booths offering food at the market ready to eat. They have an area set up with tables so folks can enjoy their meal. This past week when I went there was a booth selling olive oils and vinegars; a BBQ booth; a Mediterranean food booth; Snack Lab; the Lincoln Ice Cream Company; Hillary's Cookies, of course; and others. It was a nice assortment of vendors and cuisines. With a little musical entertainment to boot! This market is really a success, better even than some other, more established farmer's markets in the neighborhood (*cough* Lincoln Square *cough*), and we're really lucky to have this one happening right here in Ravenswood.

C & D Family Farms

I first came across C & D family farms through a farmer's market and have occasionally bought meat…read moreand eggs from them and have always been satisfied. I recently tried home delivery for the first time and was really happy. The ordering process is a bit unusual - because most items are sold by the pound and the exact weight of each package isn't known when you order - you put in the order and then the day before the delivery they will email you and let you know your exact total and how to pay (cash, check, credit card over the phone, Zelle, Venmo, etc) The prices are high. I think this is to be expected for a local farm rather than the industrial supply chains that support your local grocery store. For me, this is a worthwhile tradeoff - but don't come here looking for something really cheap.

From the owner: All natural pasture raised meats and eggs. We are a co-op of 5 small family farms bringing frozen…read moremeats and fresh eggs to the Chicagoland area. We are at farmers markets during the summer months and home deliver for no extra charge all year round.

I grabbed perfect cherry tomatoes from a stall I didn't get the name of (eeek) and on a whim also got half a load of garlic bread from pHlour bakery and cafe. The bread was prize worth. If you're lucky enough to get off at Southport get your produce here!

In fact, I only had ever been there once or twice before because the location was difficult for me to get to before they closed up for the evening. In 2024, I've been to the market three times since it opened month or so ago, which is more than I had been in the 15 years prior. There's a nice variety of booths here, from the plants, fruits, and veggies to some prepared foods. Vendors are all helpful and friendly. A favorite new find is the SnackLab, a company that makes a few items but their potato chips are the best--in particular the Rosemary Lemon flavor. This is the best flavor combo and hard to pass up! It's not my favorite of the farmers markets around; there are better ones in my opinion. But it's not bad and certainly worth it if in the area.

I'll plan on coming here again to try the tamales. So many great options to choose from however there should be a regulation on how fresh goods are displayed - served. Everything should be wrapped up individually or encased in some sort of covering. Many people were outside coughing dogs were shaking their hair which made getting the fresh baked goods un appealing because I literally saw hair fly all onto the fresh baked goods. Gross! Hopefully they can get some regulation in there because everything looked so good! There is parking around that area you will have to pay. Be sure to try the Matcha tea! I had the strawberry & mango Matcha it was delicious.

The atmosphere was vibrant, and the vendors were friendly and passionate about their products. Just a bit crowded at times, but definitely worth the visit! read more
