Who We Are
The all volunteer-run Northbrook Farmers Market provides local farmers (defined as within a 150-mile radius), producers and artisans an economic outlet, and serves the Northbrook area by making available for purchase fresh, high-quality produce and other locally produced goods for the benefit of all.

As such, our goal is to educate residents on the importance of buying local, eating healthy, and living green, as well as providing a fun, pleasant community gathering place throughout the summer.

The market is open 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. Wednesdays, rain or shine, June 22 to Oct. 12, in the Our Lady of the Brook church parking lot, 3700 Dundee Road, Northbrook.

Be sure to watch for the huge red and yellow "OPEN" swooper flag. We're waitin' for ya!
