The Glenwood Sunday Market is open for the season!
The market will run every Sunday from June 6th through October 17th. Credit cards and LINK payments will be accepted.

Starting Sunday, August 29th, the market will relocate north of Morse Avenue between Morse & Lunt. This will be our permanent location!

Rogers Park's new farmers' market strives to be one the greenest market in the City of Chicago, featuring entirely organic and sustainably locally grown produce. We define locally grown as within 200 miles of Rogers Park. Visit the Meet Our Farmerspage of the website to start getting to know your farmers. We also encourage you to engage the farmers at the market and ask them questions. They hold a wealth of knowledge about food preparation and what is in season in our region.

Each week features a variety of live entertainment, a  Green Tent and childrens' activities. Check the calendar for scheduled events. The Learn & Grow page of the website has information on their schedule of weekly events too.


Are you a local farmer or food purveyor? We would love to talk to you about bringing your goods to Rogers Park. In particular, if you are an organic fruit grower, we have a neighborhood ripe for the picking! Growers may download an application here. The processed food application may be downloaded here. 

Interested parties may download a press release.

Dave Nells sharpens anything from Knives, Bread Knife (Large Scallop), Meat Cleavers, Scissors (Utility and Sewing), Pinking Shears (zigzag or scallop) to Lawn Mower Blades, Pruning Shears, and Hedge Loppers! Prices start at only $4.00.

Safety Tip: To safely bring your items to the market, Dave recommends wrapping them in a terry cloth towel and transporting them in a cardboard box or sturdy bag.

So, bring your knives and make chopping all those veggies, cheeses and meats you buy at the market easier to handle.
