For nearly 40 years, Oak Parkers have been spoiled by the riches of the village’s now-famous farmers market.

Launched in 1974, the market—which runs every Saturday morning throughout summer—offers up standard as well untraditional farmers market goodies. Popular for the donuts—OH! THE DONUTS!—the Oak Park Farmers Market treats its market goers to everything from fresh seasonal fruits and veggies, canned jams, salsas and other sauces to locally sourced meats, cheeses and fresh baked pastries.
