2013 Vendor List Coming Soon!

Heights Farm Market just wanted to "THANK" all of the local farmers and small businesses who inquired about being vendors at the Heights Farmers Market for 2013. We have several new vendors and it looks to be a really GREAT 2013 market season.

We are currently full with a waiting list, so we will not be accepting anymore vendor applications for the 2013 season. Again THANK YOU and please keep us in mind for 2014!

Cannot wait to see all of you at the market!!!

Heights Farmers Market

2013 Season is fast approaching!

Applications for the 2013 season are coming in.  Watch for a complete list.  Your favorite farmers will be there and we have several new farmers.  Plus, this year we will have another farmer offering meat and eggs!

September 19th is the day...

As I write this, it's hard to believe that Wednesday, September 19th is the last market of the season.  It's been a tough year for most farmers - lack of rain - damaged crops - but we've all hung in there and been thankful for the fresh produce and berries the farmers have been able to bring to market!  It almost makes this fresh grown food taste that much 'sweeter'.

We so appreciate the support of our customers - our local following - thank you for coming out this season and we look forward to seeing you today and the following two Wednesdays. 

Bring your friends.  Make an evening out of it.  Enjoy the weather while you can.  As we all know...for Illinois...that the cold, snow is off in the distance...

Green Acres Herb Farm

This week, we are showcasing Green Acres Herb Farm a regular vendor at the Heights Farm Market who has been with us since the beginning!

Owner: Don and Caroline Schertz

Farm Address:  1675 County Road, 1200 E, Lowpoint IL 61545

Blog:  http://greenacresherbfarm.wordpress.com/

Vendor Information: We ran a craft type business for a number of years, growing and using dried flowers.  We gradually added herbs and cut flowers and now include heirloom vegetables.  We went from 6 plants in an old chicken house foundation to two greenhouses, two cold frames, 5-1/2 acres of plasticulture and a new farm shop.  We have a wide variety of heirloom vegetables, specializing in over 40 varieties of heirloom tomatoes.  We do not use chemical based pesticides or fertilizers. 

This is a farm family operation with several grandchildren helping Caroline and Don (us).  With their help, we now grow over 400 varieties of herbs, have a farm shop and an online book business with over 2000 titles of new, used and preloved garden books - some books dating as far back as 1850 A.D. 

Visitors are welcome to come see our operation.  Come check us out!
