Harvest season arrives…When fall comes, a changing variety of produce can be found at the Oak Park Farmers’ Market. Plums, nectarines, peaches, pears, grapes, apples and cider are just some of the seasonal favorites now available with meats, eggs, honey, cheese and milk from the more than two dozen regular Market vendors.
Stone Soup marks ends of season…The 43rd season of the Oak Park Farmers’ Market comes to a close with stone soup served to patrons at the final Market on Oct. 27. The tradition of serving stone soup at the last market of the season was inspired by a European folk tale that has, for hundreds of years, called on people to live generously, even in times of need. Residents are invited to read a popular version of the stone soup tale at www.oak-park.us/stonesoup.
SNAP/LINK among payment options…Making fresh produce affordable for all patrons is a hallmark of the Oak Park Farmers’ Market, which has been providing SNAP/LINK card processing since 2011. In that first year, more than $4,900 in electronic benefit transfer (EBT) sales was recorded. By 2017, the total had increased to nearly $16,000. The Market also offers matching double-value coupons throughout the season. For each dollar SNAP/LINK card participants spend, they receive a $1 coupon up to a maximum of $25 in coupons per cardholder per market day. Funding for the double value coupon program comes from federal grants and the Shawnash Institute, a local non-profit organization.
When and where…The Oak Park Farmers’ Market is held from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. every Saturday through October in the Pilgrim Church parking lot on Lake Street, just west of Ridgeland Avenue. For more information, visit www.oak-park.us/farmersmarket.
