Highlights for Sunday, August 2

|
Now more than ever is the time to buy local. Know your farmer, know where your food came from!
Last Sunday, the trucks were stocked with sweet corn, and every single farmer left with nothing to take home! Come early if you want corn and peaches! We are at peak season for produce. Now is the time to shop the market.
Grilling a burger this week? Or maybe having pizza? Either way, you'll need to stop by That Pickle Guy this Sunday for all your pickle needs. Who knew giardiniera on pizza was so good!
Need a hostess gift? Birthday present? Or just want to treat yourself? Stop by Labor & Mirth for hand-poured, small-batch candles with thoughtfully crafted fragrances that bring warmth, comfort, and a touch of everyday luxury to any space.
We will have a new organic farmer starting in the coming weeks. Stay tuned for this big announcement.
If you're looking for a specific vendor at the market and can't find them, please stop by the green Skokie Farmers' Market tent and market staff will point you in the right direction.
We always want to hear from you! Please email us at farmersmarket@skokie.org with any questions!
Remember to tag us in your social media posts! We love sharing photos. You can find us on Facebook and Instagram.

Farm-to-Table
Check out this week's Farmers' Market Recipe. You can find most of these ingredients at the Market!

Bacon Wrapped Corn on the Cobb
1/4 cup honey
1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
6 ears of corn, shucked and halved
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 1/2 tsp. kosher salt
Black pepper, to taste
12 slices of bacon
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 425˚. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Combine the honey and cayenne in a small bowl and set aside.
Toss the corn in a large bowl with the vegetable oil, salt and black pepper. Wrap each piece of corn with a slice of bacon, starting at one end and spiraling around the cob, overlapping the bacon slightly. Tuck the end of the bacon under itself to secure it.
Place the corn seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the bacon with the spicy honey. Roast, turning the corn over halfway through, until the corn is tender and the bacon is browned and crispy, about 25 minutes.

Meet Your Farmers' Market Staff

Jennifer Engel
Certified Market Manager
This season marks Jennifer’s 6th year leading the Skokie Farmers’ Market, where her passion for local food and community has helped her grow the market. She brings two decades of experience in marketing and community relations from her current role at Chicago’s North Shore Convention and Visitors Bureau.
Jennifer’s green thumb is next level—her home garden is basically a farmers market of its own. From corn to potatoes, she grows it all! Ask her about the luffas! (no they don't grow in the ocean!) Jennifer is focused on helping others and is active in many community groups. When she’s off the clock, you’ll likely find her on a trail with her partner Ira and their three rescue pups.
Email: farmersmarket@skokie.org
Phone: 224-496-0714
Steve Klebe
Assistant Manager
This is Steve's 5th year at the Skokie Farmers' Market. He is in charge of the Link /Match program, where you'll find him at the Market tent throughout the season. At home, he shares a big yard (complete with a native prairie and woodland garden) with his three rescue dogs.
A big fan of camping and Jimmy Buffett tunes, Steve is excited to be part of the Market this season. He’s looking forward to connecting with both customers and farmers—and picking up a few good gardening tips along the way!
