Farmers Market
The Gary Comer Youth Center offers an array of seasonally picked produce, herbs, and flowers grown and harvested by our youth. The best way to access our products is through our Farmers Market.
Our Farmers Market Opens Tuesday, June 21!
Our unique youth-led Farmers Market is open during the growing season (June through October) on Tuesdays and Fridays from 3-6 PM. The market will be held at the Youth Education Garden located on the west side of S. South Chicago, across the street from the Youth Center.
As the growing season progresses, we will be offering the following crops:
- Salad Mix
- Cooking Greens
- Beets
- Carrots
- Beans
- Tomatoes
- Peppers
- Turnips
- Onions
- Potatoes
- Summer Squash
- Herbs
In addition to our farm and garden workshops and tours, we'll also be featuring a number of our youth-crafted products like Comer Crops Raw Honey
Hand-crafted by certificate earning beekeepers, our beloved honey is light with an essence of neighboring fruits and native plants
