Dear community,
Thanks for your support and patience with us these first few weeks as we adapt to this new market experience. We're all starting to get the swing of things by now. Week 3 of market season this year brings us: berries of all kinds, bok choy, cherries, sugar snap peas, sunflowers, zucchini and so much more.
We've also invited 6 more non-farmer vendors to our line up this week. Welcome back:
Brunkow Cheese, Central Pickling, Karl's Craft Soups, Montelimar Bread, Twisted Olive, and Underground Meats!
Prepare a shopping list, stop by early this Sunday, and share your market haul with us on social @LSFarmersMarket.
Be there or be (Logan) Square,
Rosie
LSFM Manager

Our market wouldn't be possible without the help of our rockstar team of volunteers. Week after week, they show up for us and we are eternally grateful, but we still need more help!
We are expected to need about 10-12 volunteers each market day to be able to properly open with all of necessary guidelines. If you haven't already reviewed our new policy, please do so

Volunteer shifts allow for social distancing, we will provide PPE (including face shield if you'd like), and shifts are 2.5 hours. Roles include: linekeepers, assisting with the check in booth, tallying customers, and ensuring the market perimeters are secure. Sign up for a shift
