Farmers Forward at the Lemont Market

The Lemont Farmers Market has returned to downtown Lemont with new digs in the heart of it all, Village Green located at 322 Main Street. Thanks to the efforts of Amanda at Aster Gardens, this market is proudly “farmers forward” focusing on locally grown items and family-friendly activities with the addition of live music, crafts, food vendors, and a serious love for bubbles. The market opened on Tuesday, August 1 and runs until October 17, every Tuesday from 4pm - 7pm.

The chill soiree-in-the-park vibe makes it the perfect date night or a time to unwind downtown with friends and family.

You’ll find veggies and flowers from Lock House Garden, microgreens from Lemont’s Spira Farms, and all things honey from Lemont’s Honey Acre Woods, plus a rotating mix of local producers. Your fur family is taken care of too, with makers such as Soaps by Abby and More bringing made-in-Lemont catnip toys (plus soaps and jams for us humans). Stay up to date by joining the mailing list and following along on Facebook.

The Lemont Farmers Market brings the fun with a live band each week, curated by Aster Gardens. and is worth a visit just for the tunes! Shop for local produce, grab a bite from Mrs. Delicious Crepes or Bagel Burger, and relax on the lawn or grab a partner… and your dancing shoes.
