Ousted Logan Square's Indoor Farmers Market returns to the outdoor Milwaukee and Logan site Sunday
UPDATED
The updated vendor list is at end of this story.
Logan Square Chamber of Commerce Indoor Farmers Market (LSFM) will open its third winter market with more than 30 vendors on Sun., Nov. 15, at the same outdoor location as the summer market, along Logan Blvd. from Milwaukee Ave. to Whipple. Hours: 9 to 10 a.m. for high risk shoppers and 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. for all other shoppers.
Indicating competitor complaints from other tenants in "The Fields" at the Diversey and Pulaski site, New York property owners Knickpoint Ventures, who offered LSFM the space, ousted them after two weeks into the new indoor season.
Thanks to the Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events (DCASE), LSFM's market permit for the outdoor market space has been extended.
"It is the power of the Chamber's network of members, vendors and other community people that it is possible to not miss a beat with our market this coming weekend," says Nilda Esparza, who is volunteering as this year's market manager and serving as the Chamber's interim Executive Director.
Aside from sending prayers for the good weather providers, the network is working hard to locate a different indoor space for the remaining weeks thru Mar. 28, 2021. Their collective priorities are all focusing on the fact that continuity is a key to successfully serving their customers, a task they have done since 2007.
So bundle up and remember to support these small businesses next weekend, rain or shine.
