Farmers' Market

The Oak Park Farmers' Market is held every Saturday from opening day through October in the Pilgrim Congregational Church parking lot at 460 Lake Street.

THIS WEEK AT THE MARKET

• Bake Sale: Sarah’s Inn
• Children’s Activity: Stomp and Shout

Vendor notes:

• Mint Creek Farm: This week they will have many ground meats (pork, beef, turkey), beef franks, and pork chops! Enjoy the irreplaceable taste of the Carr Family's sustainable meats from grass-fed animals; grazing on certified organic pastures.
• Finns Ranch:  Their cattle, pigs, turkeys and chickens are 100% hormone, steroid and antibiotics free and pasture raised. They offer "happy chicken" fresh eggs from stress-free animals. Their fresh eggs come in all sizes and colors.
• Ellis Farm: For Saturday’s market, they will be harvesting two varieties of peaches, six varieties of apples (including Honey Crisp), three varieties of pears, six varieties of plums (not prunes), red raspberries, last of the storage blueberries, three varieties of grapes (maybe starting concord!), zucchini, yellow squash, tomatoes and maybe apple cider.
• Nichols Farm and Orchard: Here is just a few of the many varietals offered this week; last of the Mirai sweet corn, beets, collard greens, onions, shallots, sweet potatoes, pumpkins, winter squash, Brussel sprouts, potatoes and so much more.
• R. Smits “The Farm”:  Due to this warm weather, Farmer John will be bringing everything from the late summer crop (even some watermelon, his famous sweet corn and tomatoes). In addition, look for his mini-pumpkins, Acorn and Butternut squash.
• Geneva Lakes Produce: Pumpkin harvest is in full swing! Long days of nonstop harvesting have commenced and will continue until Halloween. With most Summer crops still abundant,  it is common for the Koster family to put in 100+ hour work weeks! Check out their impressive variety of fresh Fall produce.
• Brian Severson Farms: Making the Blue Hopi Cornbread and Blue Hopi Grits from the Severson family recipes is a fabulous way to taste the pure grain goodness from old school farming with integrity. Farmer Brian and Baker Kim are excited to announce their new Heirloom Cornbread Mix which contains all Henry Moore heirloom corn (no wheat flour) and their brand new Biscuit Mix. Sample their healthy and high-fiber baked items and ask Kim for their recipes and ideas. The Severson family's non-GMO (certified Organic) products are the same quality and purity as the grains that our grandparents and Native Americans consumed. Stock up now, as they will only be present at the market every other week through the end of the season.
