About the Market
Background
The Glenview Farmer's Market has been a staple at Wagner Farm, providing a venue for local farmers to sell their organic and sustainably-grown produce and other goods. The market operates every Saturday from June to October, fostering a community space for both vendors and customers.
Practices
Vendors at the market offer a variety of organic and sustainably-grown fruits and vegetables, including many heirloom varieties. The market also features cheese, eggs from cage-free, hormone-free hens, and meats such as lamb, beef, pork, and poultry. The emphasis is on local, seasonal produce and humane animal husbandry practices.
The Rest
The market accepts SNAP cards, with half the purchase price covered by local grants. Weekly chef demonstrations showcase ways to use in-season produce, and the 'Green Table' hosts experts on sustainable living. Visitors can enjoy free farm animal visits, guided 'Farmhouse Living' tours, and a hands-on farm museum every Saturday. Special events like recycling drives are also held periodically.
