The Jackson Park Farmer’s Market (JPFM), a collaborative venture with the Jackson Park Community Association, was established in 2015. It is an open-air concept which brings locally grown fruits, vegetables, and foods crafted by Wisconsin vendors to the Jackson Park and surrounding community residents. The Market is operated by volunteers who are passionate about the place we call home. We believe in supporting local businesses and engagement in healthy neighborhood activities.
The 2024 Jackson Park Farmers Market season will be June 13th-October 3rd, 2024. There will NOT be a Market July 4, 2024. Market days are Thursdays 3:00-6:30pm.
The market is physically located on the Kinnickinnic River Parkway between S. 43rd Street and W. Forest Home Avenue, next to the pond and boathouse.
BENEFITS
JPFM brings an array of delicious, nutritious items that families can enjoy. Urban consumers can reduce their intake of processed foods and replace them with healthy items sold by local farmers and vendors who share similar ideals about wellness. Children and adults alike can try new food items, learn alternative ways to prepare food, and get a little hint of the country with the benefits of living in the city.
The Market is also an ideal place to socialize, get to know neighbors, and bring people together for a slower pace of life. Attendees can learn about the hidden talents of those they meet, begin new traditions, support local niches, and appreciate the charm of the varied ethnicities and cultures in this vibrant area.
OUR DEDICATION
We are committed to supporting the neighborhood, encouraging fellowship among residents, and bringing together our businesses for a wholesome quality of life. We are proud that JPFM serves as a welcoming place for a diverse mix of individuals, families and community members looking to support the local economy and enjoy fresh, healthy food. Make the most of your time in the park and take a stroll, play, or just sit back, listen to music and enjoy a bite to eat.
