Great news! The Logan Square Farmers Market has moved indoors for the winter! From 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. on Sundays, stop by the lobby of the Congress Theater and check out the winter market. They expect to run through March, with a few Sundays off for holidays. I assume then they’ll go back to their outdoor location on the boulevard.
The winter market plans on still providing locally produced agriculture products, so expect root vegetables and fruits that have been “put up” by canning or drying. Although, right now there are still a ton of apples at the market. And cider! I got a bag of honey crisp apples and some cider for Dallas. I’m told that throughout the winter you can also still get greens and mushrooms that they grow indoors or under glass or plastic. And there will still be farm fresh meat and eggs. Of course, all the baked goods and prepared food items will still be available. Along with the apples and cider, I got some lettuce and 2 bags of homemade granola.
As well, the winter market may also showcase Logan Square Chamber member businesses. All in all, it doesn’t seem like they’re going to have issues running the market through the winter, which is exciting.
I’d never been to the Congress Theater before and thought it was funny that my first trip there was not for a concert, but for the farmers market!
