About the Market
Background
Located on the Historic Woodstock Square, this market has become a staple for the community, providing a venue where only products grown, raised, or made by local vendors are sold. The market transitions to the McHenry County Fairgrounds during the colder months, ensuring year-round access to local goods.
Practices
The market emphasizes local production, with several vendors practicing organic farming methods. Pasture-raised pork, chicken, beef, and eggs highlight the commitment to humane and sustainable animal husbandry. The focus on local and artisanal production fosters a direct connection between consumers and producers.
The Rest
In addition to farm-fresh produce and meats, the market offers plants for gardens, local honey, blueberries, apples, baked goods, flower bouquets, soaps, and grab-and-go eats. Live music enhances the shopping experience every Tuesday and Saturday. The market operates outdoors from May through October and moves indoors to the McHenry County Fairgrounds from November through April.
