Govanstowne Farmers' Market

Building Community

connecting residents, neighbors & friends with local food and each other.

Many vendors say our market is unique.  Our community embraces market day -- families with children enjoy craft time after school, people rest at picnic tables chatting with friends.  Our market is a hub of activity each Wednesday.  No matter the temperature, you'll see smiles and hear "thank you," and "have a good day!" The market is one of the only places for our diverse and wonderful community to come together as one.  Join us!  Check back here for dates of upcoming events!

Youth Programs

Each summer, we welcome youth to participate in free arts & crafts, games, contests, and more!  Market Interns help provide summer meals, children's games, face painting, and pick up basketball each week at market.

​Summer meals

Summer Employment

We're always looking for great volunteer or paid staff to support our youth programming.  Young adults age 16 and up, please reach out to the market manager for more information.

​Back to School Celebration

We love our local students! We partner with Loyola University's School of Education and the Loyola Clinical Centers to prepare and excite our local youth for a new school year!  In the past, youth (and young at heart) shared their dreams for their future and helped paint a community mural!
