Garfield Ridge Farmers Market 2026 – Vendor Applications Now Open!

The Garfield Ridge Farmers Market is returning for Summer 2026 — and we’re excited to invite local farmers, food producers, and makers to apply to be part of this growing market on Chicago’s Southwest Side.

Now held on Saturdays from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM (a new day for the market!).

The Market is designed to be a farmer-centered community gathering where neighbors come together week after week to shop local, learn something new, and connect.

The Market runs May 1 through September 30, 2026, and takes place:

• Outdoor at the northwest corner of Archer Avenue & Narragansett Avenue
• The Biz Hub (inside the 5/3 Bank)
  • Indoors, where we host free community workshops, educational sessions, and family-friendly activities throughout the season
  • Outdoors, the smaller parking lot, as our food court

Our market prioritizes:

• Farmers / Producers / Growers
• Food Processors (packaged, take-home foods)
• Prepared Food Vendors
• Artisans & Crafters
• Young Entrepreneurs (under 18)

We are intentionally curating a market that supports local food systems, small businesses, and community education.

Applying to the Market

There is a $10 non-refundable pre-application fee to apply.

This fee is not the vendor booth fee and does not guarantee acceptance. All applications are reviewed to ensure a good fit with the market’s mission, layout, and vendor mix.

We strongly encourage all applicants to review the Garfield Ridge Farmers Market Vendor Information Guide before applying, as it includes full details on vendor categories, requirements, fees, setup expectations, and market policies.

The vendor application is open on February 2nd through April 13th (a 10-week application window).

After submitting the $10 non-refundable application fee, applicants will receive a confirmation email with a link to the official vendor application (Google Form).

To ensure a fair and organized review process, only applications submitted through this process will be considered. Application links are issued individually and are not transferable.

If you’re looking to be part of a welcoming, community-driven market — and excited about a vibrant Saturday tradition — we’d love to hear from you.

👉 Apply now and help us build a market rooted in fresh food, shared learning, and community connection.
