Loyola University Chicago Farmers' Market

We look forward to the upcoming outdoor farmers market season and seeing you. The Loyola University Chicago Farmer's Market seeks to increase access to healthy and sustainably grown fruits, vegetables, dairy, meat and prepared foods. We bring you a relaxing atmosphere where you can purchase fresh local food. The Market is a direct result of a student project in the Loyola's Solutions To Environmental Problems (STEP) Food Systems course. Conceptualized and planned by the students, the Market's goals are to: Increase access to fresh nutritious locally grown and produced foods to community members in a densely populated urban setting To contribute to Loyola's mission to serve those in need by providing a community gathering place where fresh, nutritious foods are affordable To support small growers that apply sustainable agriculture and land conservation practices To support small producers with entrepreneurial spirit Provide a place where all can purchase local and seasonal foods to support the "farm to plate" lifestyle
