Forest City Farmers Market

DAUGHTERS HERITAGE a year ago

This was our first year as a vendor at the Forest City Farmers Market, and it has been such a welcoming experience! We (Daughters Heritage) are a small, home-garden grower of veggies and fruits—and it has been so rewarding to share our goodies with the community each week. Customers appreciate the quality of homegrown produce, and it’s wonderful to see people excited about fresh, local food again. One of the best parts of this market is how kind and supportive the other vendors are. Everyone is genuinely happy to help each other, share advice, and encourage new vendors, which makes a big difference when you are just getting started. It truly feels like being part of a group of farmers who care about the community and each other, and we’re grateful to be part of it. Highly recommend stopping by and supporting this market!

More and more people are finding out just how fantastic the Forest City Farmers Market is! I've been attending as a vendor, 360 Grace Woodworks, LLC for two years now and I'm blown away by the tantalizing variety that you can find there for amazing locally grown food and baked goods, as well as some local artisans like myself and more providing unique gifts for yourself, friends, or family! Every Friday morning from 9:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m. Come grow with us! 🙂

I LOVE being part of this market. With 45+ vendors and growing this market has it all. Not only do I get to share and demo my Norwex products but also support my vendor friends. We work so well together supporting our goods. Some of my favorites (and this list is growing weekly) are canned pickles/jams from Rose, pies from Sweet Susan, micro-greens, beef tallow, Monat, girly hair bows, hand crafted wood creations and charcuterie boards, flowers, produce, Pampered Chef and don't forget the food trucks. This market is not to be missed. On the corner of Newburg & South Apline Fridays 9-1pm.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ One of the BEST Farmers Markets Around! The Forest City Farmers Market is truly a hidden gem! Every Friday from 9 AM to 1 PM (through the end of October), this market offers an amazing variety of local goods and handmade treasures. You’ll find everything from fresh produce, farm-fresh eggs, Angus ground beef, turkey, and chicken to homemade sourdough bread, baked goods, pepper sauces, and even old-fashioned licorice. There are beautiful handmade items like candles, wooden toys, 3D printed creatures, sterling silver rings, layered artwork, crocheted pieces, tumblers, and adorable bows for little girls. You’ll also see favorites like Norwex, Pampered Chef, and Monet on display. The plant and flower selection is fantastic, with plenty of hanging baskets and potted options to brighten your space. Don’t miss the food trucks! There’s authentic Mexican and Greek food available, with vegan options—absolutely delicious. And for your morning coffee fix, Rockford Roasting Co. is on-site serving up top-notch brews! It’s a perfect mix of fresh, local, handmade, and delicious. Super friendly vendors, a great community feeling, and something for everyone. Highly recommend checking it
