The Browntrout Farmers Market is Supported by Ground Up.

Ground Up is a Chicago chef comunitty comitted to building a local and sustaianable farmer chef connection through education, access, and support.

The Market is an incuabtion market for small farmers In the midwest.  It runs from 5-8pm every Tuesday all summer until September.  The idea for the market is to have one that is only for a nominal fee you can participate in our market ALL season. By having a market at low cost to the vendor they can get a jumpstart into doing good business and marketing for them.We have childrens cooking classes and work shops.  We will be serving craft cocktails and small seasonal plates from our bar.  I just need some Marketing help for this to fall into place. 

Right now we have Catalpa Grove(Goat milk feed Veal and lamb)Frillman Farms(Radishes, chicken eggs, baby letyuces Lucky Duck Farm (pea tendrils, duck eggs and chicken eggs),  Puffs of doom (Awesome Cream Puffs), BOT bakery a vegan bakery, Sharpening by Dave (knive and tool sharpening).
