WELCOME TO THE RAVENSWOOD COMMUNITY FARMERS MARKET!
ABOUT US
Ravenswood Community Farmers Market is a collaboration between vendors, local businesses, residents, and The Ravenswood Covenant Church. Located in the parking lot behind the church, this newly revamped market will have many of the same great features of it's predecessor. The church staff will still offer kids activities including the bouncy house, science projects, and water games. In addition, the new market will have food only vendors, and a strong focus on Community Outreach. The operation and success of the market will be by the community, for the community. Our funding will come from sponsorship at both the local business and individual level. In turn, the market will not only be a great place to shop and gather, but also support and give back to charitable organizations in the community. Each week we have a community tent available for such organizations as Hannigan Hedghog HQ, Amundsen High School, and Ravenswood Community Services.
We host pet adoption groups including
Friends of Petraits, owned by local Sheri Berliner.
