by Press Release
Join us in the Edgebrook parking lot every Wednesday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. for our annual Farmer’s Market. This event starts May 5th and lasts until October 27th. Dozens of local farmers display their highest quality vegetables, fruits, flowers, and plants at the longest running Farmer’s Market in the area.
In conjunction with the Illinois Department of Agriculture, Edgebrook is extremely pleased to announce the addition of a unique 12 week program that will occur during the Edgebrook Farmers Market. Learn Great Foods will present cooking demonstrations using specialty crops available in the market that day. The experienced chefs will share recipes, facts and the health benefits associated with these items the community is encouraged to participate in these FREE events. The first 100 individuals will be able to take home their very own complimentary foodbook (1 per person) with a new foodbook being distributed at each scheduled demonstration.
