As of April 24
The final Ecology Center market was cancelled. The Downtown Evanston Farmers market returns on May 2 with significant adaptations in the face of the Covid-19 pandemic. We will continue to update this page, but for all the current information, please visit this page on our website.
As of April 14
Ecology Center market probably not on.
It would have been an Ecology Center market, and in fact it was still on the City calendar as of Tuesday morning. However, the Center itself is closed, and we’re aware of at least one vendor who is delivering pre-orders at a different location. We’re going to say that the Ecology Center Indoor Market season is concluded. When we have confirmation from market management, we’ll update.
Pre-order/Pre-pay opportunities
There’s no online clearinghouse on who is going to be bringing pre-order/pre-pay orders to Evanston now that the Indoor Markets have wrapped, but some detective work on our part indicates that Kinnickinnick Farm and Katic Bread are continuing this service. You’ll need to visit their websites or Facebook pages for details. Vendor websites can be found by clicking here. Keen eyes will note that the list has not been updated to this year’s. That will be rectified this week. However, the info you need right now is on the list and accurate.
Regarding the Downtown Market
No updates since last week. We’ll report ’em as soon as we see ’em!
The outdoor Downtown Evanston Farmers Market, scheduled to begin on May 2, is on as of this writing. Market Manager Myra Gorman took to the Evanston Markets Facebook page for a detailed report on how she, the city, and our many market vendors are preparing for a safe market experience.
Although we ache to cut and paste her comments into this space, you really should visit the market’s Facebook page so they get a better gauge of interest in the upcoming market season.
The nature of our current situation is rapid change, and we’ll keep this page updated with information directly from the market managers. If you’re not receiving our weekly newsletter, subscribe for weekly updates and information all year long.
