I visited the North Branch Market a few weeks ago and this weekend decided to check out the Park Ridge Farmer's Market, and it's another great market. Honestly, I don't get the popularity of something like the Green City Market and though the Lincoln Square Farmer's Market (which used to be my usual) isn't anywhere near as good. There are lots of vendors here. The portion of the market where I entered had a lot of food and goods vendors--pizza truck, ice cream company, bakery, kettle corn, olive oil (there were two!), textiles, soaps & scents, and more. I thought that street was the extent of the market, but when I neared the end I saw that it extends into the parking lot on the street and that section has a lot more. There were at least five different farm operations represented, a man selling meats, and there was a cheese stand as well. It's the height of summer, so I ended up with plums, blackberries, blue cheese and curds, some bread, and a couple other goodies. This market was a really great balance of the Farm in Farmer's market with so many selling here and various other sundries. A four-piece classical quartet serenaded folks as they wandered the market; I assume that the musical entertainment changes from week to week. They had a children's activity booth where this weekend kids were playing with clay with a local artist, and there was a community booth where a local food pantry was collecting donations (the market was also encouraging folks to buy two of an item to donate one to the food pantry). Again, their schedule changes, so I got the impression that the children's activity may be different on different weekends. The market opens early (7 a.m., I think) and the kid's booth starts around 9. Parking is excellent. There's a lot off the street where the market is held with space for a great deal of cars--I think its primary function is as a municipal lot. There's also copious amounts of street parking around as well. If you're in the area on Saturday while the market is in swing, this is a fantastic one you should put on your agenda.

There are now multiple different live music acts opinion where you are walking throughout the farmers market. There are so many vendors from fresh foods to drink drinks to vegetables and flowers. However, it was a little disappointed to see that quite a bit of the vendors did pre-orders and so in order for you to get anything from the vendor, you had to pre-order something. So as someone who was walking in here randomly who happens to live a mile away, I would've hoped for more on the spot availability. There is a huge area now just to sit down and enjoy the food or your coffee that you bought as well as mingle and mixed with everybody else. So this was a really great site to see. There's lots of families lots of children. It's very dog friendly as well, which is fantastic. If you're in the area for sure check this out. The only thing I would recommend More porta potties as I saw quite a bit of lines I would also recommend more options for seating areas rather than just the one consolidated space so meeting spreading out more tables and chairs throughout.

I find the vendors either have limited variety , completely run out by 10 am , or the lines are so long that you spend 15 mins waiting to just ask a question. However , there are tons of specialty items- micro green varieties, cakes, cheeses, chicken products, some sauces , etc. again there are produce vendors... it's just limited selections.

Park Ridge established a new event this summer, and when I heard about it I wanted to check it out…read more Four times over the summer, once each month, it takes place at the same location as the PR Farmer's Market. There's no entrance fee, but of course the vendors cost money. When you enter, you have to get a wristband if you plan to have any alcohol; they will check your ID to confirm your age, so bring that if you want some spirits or wine. The other option is to purchase a "passport", which, as of 2024, costs $26. The passport gives you the chance to get a sample at the various booths that are offering alcohol. It's my understanding that you can't buy from those booths--just get a sample--but there is one booth where you can purchase individual glasses of wine/beer. I have seen at least a couple of these vendors here at the farmer's market but there were several that were new to me as well. I ended up getting a few different things for us for dinner; I picked up something from the food truck selling Philippine cuisine, and I got a burger for myself. I also had to get an elote for the babe since she's a huge fan of corn. My burger was fantastic, even after bringing it home. It was a smash burger that had Munster cheese and apricot jam. Makes my mouth water thinking about it a few hours later! I didn't try any of the BBQ plate from the Philippine place, but my significant other said it was really good... and the little one seemed to like the pork bun I bought for her. I was really pleased that the prices, though a little high, really weren't bad for this sort of event. The portion sizes were good for the money--I was stuffed after finishing my burger. There was a band playing this evening and they were pretty enjoyable. The organizers had at least two compost/recycle/trash stations set up, which was helpful (and I was impressed they include the compost option!). I also appreciated that there were several tables set up for folks to listen, eat, and socialize; there were also folks who brought their own chairs, too. Overall this was a fun event, and I'm looking forward to returning for the 2024 finale in September.

Visited this location during the pandemic. I understand everyone is worried about paper products in general. I understand staff is overworked during this time as well as I work in the food service industry. I visited this location as they had toliet paper and gave a ride to a friend who does not live with me nor have a vehicle. Upon checking out they said there was a limit of 2 packages per household. There was NO SIGN. I understand everyone is tired and I did not feel like arguing over paper products. I told the cashier who was a young female ( and very rude by the way) that we were going to do two separate transactions as we do not live together. Without any hesitation she calls her store manager and hangs up the phone with an attitude and says ' nope he said we can only sell you two'. I then asked to speak with the manager willing to show proof of our IDs to show we do not live at the same address. He did not care and told me he is refusing to sell products to us. As he said " we can only take two as we walked in together". During these times of panic everyone is tired and overworked to meet demands but we are all human that need to support each other. With the way the staff treated us in front of everyone I will no longer be returning to this location and will make everyone aware of how we were treated. During this crazy time everyone shows their true colors. Please everyone do yourself a favor and do not support a business who is not willing to show any compassion for individuals trying to help people who are unable to go to the stores by themselves for whatever the reason may be. read more

Everything I've bought has been fresh, and the prices are honestly some of the best I've seen in a long time. Some of the deals I found were amazing: strawberries for just $0.98 a pack, a large pack of raspberries for $3.98, chicken breasts for $1.98 per pound, and ribeye steaks for $9.99 per pound. With grocery prices being so high these days, stores like this are such a huge help. The only downside is that weekends are extremely busy, so I'd recommend going first thing in the morning if you can. Even with the crowds, it's absolutely worth the trip. Great quality, unbeatable prices, and a fantastic place to stretch your grocery budget!

The wife says we came here once before many years ago but I don't remember it. They've been at it here for 53 years since 1972. Normally, we avoid it due to the madhouse scene that is usually here (like when traffic can't even enter the parking lot from busy Milwaukee Ave because the parking lot is overflowing lol). Well, it was -3F on a frigid Friday night and we were across Milwaukee Ave at the Jewel, and it was eerily quiet in Jewel, and we thought it was as good a time as any to also visit Jerry's lol. Well, it was relatively calm, and we found a close by parking spot, but there were still plenty of shoppers in Jerry's. Their inventory is huge and truly impressive as are their prices. No wonder this place is so super popular. We picked up some cherries for $2.49 per lb and strawberries at a promo price of $0.79 per 1 lb container. I would say 4.5 stars for our visit tonight, but really on their normal super-crowded shopping basis, I would still say 3 stars overall. I don't personally think the hassle factor of shopping here for fruits and vegetables is worth it for the savings and the variety of offerings, thus the 2 star deduct. But you have to decide for yourself, and apparently for many others, Jerry's is well worth the trip, and kudos to Jerry's for that and continued good luck and success to them.

This place has been talked about for almost the entire 1.5+ years since I moved to the northwest side. It replaces the old Happy Foods that once occupied the spot. The store is still in its soft opening, and has been for about the last week. So if you visit soon after the posting of this review (March 9, 2026), you may notice that there are a few open spots on their shelves. But for the most part, the store is filled up. Their produce looks great, and competitively priced (I got some really nice looking strawberries for 99 cents per pint). Their deli section carries Boar's Head meats and cheeses, as well as Kretschmar. They have a section with some meats and cheeses for your charcuterie board, and I also saw some fig spread here. There's a little bakery section (the lemon bars looks really good) and they have an area with tables and seating, so it looks like maybe they'll have some eat-in items available at sometime as well? It's spotless inside. Parking is ample for this little market, but please make sure you pay attention to which way is the entrance and exit--it's one way, with diagonal spaces, so there really isn't much room for error here and you'll probably look like a buffoon if you try going the wrong way. There's parking on the street as well along some parts of Northwest Highway. It's a couple blocks from the EP Metra station and across the street from Edison Park, so if you're having an afternoon at the playground and forget a snack or drink you can pop on over.
