About Us
Since 2005, The Logan Square Farmers Market (LSqFM) has been an open-air food market and weekly community gathering. The Market is powered by the Logan Square Chamber of Commerce, an association of nearly 200 local business members, whose mission is to advance the civic and commercial interests of Logan Square. The Chamber is a tax-exempt 501(c)6 not-for-profit community organization.
Our Goals
1
Build an Alternative Food System
The LSqFM provides an outlet for nutritious, conscientiously grown, and produced local foods, and education about these foods, for all members of our community regardless of income level.
Since July 2021, we have been able to offer Double Dollars to our SNAP users, matching up to $15 using LINK cards and FMNP checks in vouchers to be spent on fresh produce at the Logan Square Farmers Market.
2
Foster Entrepreneurship
The LSqFM functions as an incubator for small-scale, local entrepreneurs, especially those in the food sector. Applications from small-scale farmers, producers, and other food businesses will be given preference.
3
Build Community
The LSqFM serves the community by raising the profile of the neighborhood, reinforcing a positive image of Logan Square, and creating a site for civic engagement and entertainment.
