Nichols Farms gets removed from Wicker Park Farmers Market | Eater Chicago

"A long-running weekly market celebrating its 20th season that has implemented strict COVID‑19 protocols (masking, no touching items, one-way entry and exit and attempts to install handwashing/physical barriers), drawing customers who lined up 15–20 minutes on a recent Sunday. Management, now run by the local chamber after the city previously managed the event, removed a founding vendor for alleged repeated noncompliance after a July 12 inspector made recommendations (but issued no formal citation); the chamber says the vendor refused to rectify issues on-site and must submit a plan of action to be considered for readmittance, while community members and chefs have criticized the decision as heavy‑handed amid pandemic pressures." - Ashok Selvam

Chicago’s 12 Best Farmers Markets to Visit This Season | Eater

"Charming and nicely sized, the Wicker Park Farmers Market runs every Sunday from June through October, with a focus on local, environmentally responsible food. This year marked the first year that the market went plastic-free, meaning you’ll need to bring your own bags and containers for shopping. Not only can you shop for great produce and grab-and-go food, but free yoga is often offered, along with book swaps and musical acts throughout the day. Go for the excellent produce, stay for the baked goods — like amazing pies and blueberry muffins." - Vox Creative

Celebrating 25 years, this plastic-free Sunday market packs Wicker Park with 60 vendors and music. Consistently featured by Block Club Chicago and the Chicago Sun-Times, it’s a stylish but grounded stop for produce, bread, and blooms.
