West Pullman's Cottage Grove Farmers Market Enters Final Weeks with Harvest Celebration

By Socialhood News · Il/Chicago/West Pullman · October 25, 2025

The Pullman Farmers Market, located at 11100 S. Cottage Grove Avenue, is entering its final weeks of the 2025 season, with the market continuing every Wednesday from 7 a.m. to noon through October 29th. The market, which accepts Link benefits, has become a vital source of fresh produce and community connection for West Pullman residents.

A special harvest celebration is planned for next Wednesday, featuring local flower farmers and fresh produce from community programs that support young adults with autism and related challenges who gain vocational and social skills through farming. The profits from these vendors directly support their programming, making each purchase a contribution to the community. Regular market-goers appreciate the market's simple but impactful approach—focusing on flowers, food, and community vibes. Beyond the exceptional produce, locally raised meats, and artisanal cheeses, shoppers can find baked goods, doughnuts, honey, fresh herbs, handmade pasta, spices, skincare products, and various prepared foods including raclette sandwiches and tamales.

Residents are encouraged to visit the market during these final weeks of the season and to bring reusable bags. The market organizers are also seeking volunteers to help with the year-end survey to better plan for the 2026 season. Those interested in contributing to next year's market planning can speak with market coordinators onsite or email the Pullman Farmers Market Association.
