The Market, now in its 29th year, is located on the Historic Woodstock Square, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and was recognized in 2007 as a Distinctive Destination by the National Trust for Historic Preservation. Located about 50 miles northwest of Chicago in the center of McHenry County, Woodstock also serves as the County Seat. Thousands of acres of prime agricultural land still exists; however, the ability of small specialty crop growers to continue their agricultural pursuits depends upon being able to directly market their crops at venues such as the Woodstock Farmers Market.
The Woodstock Farmers Market is a producers’ market, allowing only products that are verified by the Board as grown, produced, or made by the local Farmer or Artisan. You will find only the freshest, tastiest, in-season produce and healthy, locally-grown plants. We also offer beef, eggs, pork, honey, wine, cheeses, spinach, asparagus, tomatoes, sweet corn, apples, berries, baked goods, honey, poultry, eggs; fine wines, and delicious cheeses. In addition to all of these, you’ll find woolen products and fleece; delightful soaps and body products; knife sharpening, and beautiful jewelry and crafts. Plus, beautiful perennials; bedding, heirloom, and ornamental plants; hanging baskets, and fresh cut flowers. Remember, Buy Fresh…Buy Local.
The Market is open on Tuesdays and Saturdays from May through October. The Market features various special events such as cooking demonstrations and tree planting seminars. Don’t forget to enjoy the delightful music that is part of every Market! « less

The Woodstock Farmers Market is a constantly evolving organization, mainly because of the decisions of the five members of the farmers market board.
