We had a terrific opening day with our traditional watermelon-cutting ceremony, free slices of watermelon, music, balloon sculpting, face painting, plenty of giveaways, connecting with old acquaintances, and making new friends. The fun event is sponsored by our friends at
NorthShore University HealthSystem.
Who We Are
Northbrook Farmers Market is operated by Northbrook Farmers Market Association, an all-volunteer, tax-exempt, nonprofit organization incorporated in the State of Illinois.
We're the best weekday farmers market on the North Shore.
Visit us and you'll know why!
Our mission is to support local farmers, producers and artisans by providing an economic outlet, and to serve the greater Northbrook area by making available for purchase fresh food and other locally made goods for the benefit of all.
Our goal is to educate residents on the benefits of buying locally, eating healthy, and living green, as well as supporting local farming families and entrepreneurs.
Read about our history, mission and how we are more than just a market!
Northbrook Farmers Market welcomes dogs at the market. Please first read our guidelines brochure and then use your discretion to make the right choice for both you and your dog.
The market encourages shoppers to bring reusable totes and discourages the use of plastic bags. Learn more about why it is so important that we reduce the number of plastic bags in our world.
We are a charitable organization that depends on sponsors to help fund our many programs. All donations are tax deductible and are used 100% toward furthering the goals and objectives of the market. If you are a local business and would like to join our team, please contact us at NorthbrookFarmersMarket@gmail.com.
