The Thursday Local Foods Market is starting up for the summer on June 9th, 4:30-6 pm, and will run on Thursdays through October 13th.

 

NEW this year:

• Attention vendors and potential vendors!  There is a Food Market Handbook we have put together with information about the market, what can be sold, vendor fees, and more. Please read it: Cook County Local Food Market Handbook

• Vendors are asked to register in advance for the market. You can sign up for one or more weeks, or the whole season using this online form: Local Food Market Vendor Registration. Along with your registration, you'll need to submit an ST19 form (required by MN Dept of Revenue).

• We are working on getting authorized to accept SNAP benefits and possibly WIC at the market- we will share more details when these programs are ready to go

• The market may be moving down the parking lot to have more space- we are still figuring out the exact plan but we'll have a plan by June 9th!
