The Glenwood Sunday Market Opens January 9, 2011

I was looking forward to the January 9, 2011 opening of the Glenwood Avenue Farmers Market, located at 1448 Glenwood Avenue in Chicago's Rogers Park neighborhood. I got there bright and early, around 9:00 a.m., when it opened and it was apparent that I wasn't the only one who was waiting in anticipation for it to open, as it was already getting crowded.

Many of the vendors and farmers that had a booth at the market participate in organic farming and they're usually happy to answer any questions about it. I couldn't wait to stop by the bread booth, but I couldn't decide on the long French and Italian loaves, or the round "table" breads.

The honey apples were gorgeous and the winter produce vendors were also in full swing, selling broccoli, cabbage, fresh spinach, onions and squash. The display of preserves, tea, honey and baked goods, including pies was also enticing. The parking was ample for the customers, but I believe the vendors parked in a different location.

If yo want to find out how you can become a vendor at the Glenwood Sunday Market, call 773-508-5885 or visit their website.
