Oak Park Farmers Market

Small market but nicely done. KC Kombucha serves here! Yum, bring your refillable bottles for a discount. Taste local honey & fruits. Soaps, teas, candles & plants for sale.

Small but lovely market, and great for someone who gets overwhelmed with choices at large markets.

The Oak Park Farmers Market is a brand new small market located at McClatchy Park on Saturdays from 9am-1pm. There are only a few vendors right now but all of them are great! There was fresh and dried flower bouquets, locally grown strawberries and veggies, homemade teas and pound cakes, aqua frescas, beautiful plants and a handful of family owned restaurant tents. I bought some lemon drop tea from Tea Amo, it smells and tastes delicious!! I also got 3 beautiful new plants from the Plant Demon, that guy knows SO much about every single plant I was super impressed. My mom and I enjoyed our lunch at Meza, an Arab and Mexican combination restaurant where we had a vegetarian quesadilla and a chicken wrap with garlic sauce, they were both insanely good. As well as their mint and orange blossom lemonade and tahini chocolate chip cookie that happens to be vegan! The cookie was so good that I bought two more for later. I recommend stopping by this small farmers market even for a few minutes if you're in the area, you are highly likely to see something you will want to buy and supporting small local businesses is one of the best things you can do on a Saturday 💖

It's got a lot of growing to do and the midtown farmers market won't calm itself down to let this farmers market exist. It's not a competition. I wish there would be some collaboration to get more people who would go to the midtown market here. This doesn't need to be on the same level or the same thing as the midtown farmers market but the midtown market is making it really hard for this market to exist and it doesn't need to be like that

A question, not a review. Can anyone tell me when Jujubees are back in season? Thank you.

It's a cute lovely experience, but as of late vendors are swapping in and out a lot and previous staples are just not around anymore? Great for a small bite to eat and explore new culinary experiences but often if you are going for a specific person there is no guarantee that they will be there week after week.

First day open and lots of food vendors and people out to enjoy the day. Not too many produce vendors, and they were mostly sold out within the first hour and a half. Hopefully, more produce vendors will show up. Also, there needs to be more seating. Lots of people are getting their food, then standing in groups talking and eating in the walk ways making it difficult for others to walk around them. But still an enjoyable day.

I hate, hate leaving a poor review of a farmer’s market, but I want to leave honest feedback. There are very few vendors at this market and the ones there are way overpriced. Last weekend I was buying nectarines and Peaches at Denio’s Farmers market for $1.50 lb. They were charging $4.00 at Oak Park. I could justify paying $2.00 or $2.50 but $4 is just too much. Farmers markets are great because there are no middlemen and very little overhead. In theory they should enable good prices for customers at fair profits for vendors but alas this is not the case and whoever runs this market needs to address and correct this.
