61st Street Farmers Market, a program of Experimental Station, brings fresh, healthy food to Woodlawn and surrounding neighborhoods year-round by reducing barriers to access and offering hands-on food education. Launched in 2008 with the support of a dedicated group of volunteers, the Market has been a leader in Illinois in accepting and promoting SNAP/Link benefits at farmers markets.

    Outdoor & Indoor Market

    The market brings fresh, healthy foods to historically underserved Woodlawn and surrounding neighborhoods. By reducing barriers to accessing farm-fresh food, we are building a thriving local food community that supports Midwest growers, educates consumers, and is available to all.

    Food Education

    We believe ‘food access’ is a multidimensional problem that takes long-term investment to solve. Food education has been an ongoing effort to alter the purchasing behavior and food consumption patterns of Woodlawn’s low-income children, youth, and adults.

    Vendors

    All season long, we host between 25-30 vendors and farmers to sell their vegetables, fruits and produce. Check out more detail about our vendors.

  • People shopping at an outdoor farmers market stall with a sign that reads "Carrot Earth". The stall offers fresh vegetables, and there is a large white tent overhead. Several customers and a vendor are visible, with trees and a blue sky in the background.

    Seller Training

    Each year, Experimental Station selects 15 candidates for our Farmers Market Seller Training Program. We provide training and a basic understanding on how to sell at a farmers market.
