Kankakee Farmers' Market

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! ☘️

We feel pretty lucky to have a community that shows up, shops local, supports small businesses, and makes Saturday mornings something special.

Thank you for being part of the market family.

When community shows up, it SHOWS UP.

On Saturday, Kankakee came together in a big way. What started as a last-minute call to action turned into an incredible outpouring of love — totes, cleaning supplies, gift cards, and monetary donations poured in from the hearts of our community.

It truly takes a village.

A very special thank you to and for packing up a truckload and delivering donations directly to Redeeming Life Ministries on Waldron Road — now serving as the main donation center for Aroma Park.

To everyone who dropped off, donated, and showed up — thank you. This is what is made of. 🧡
If you’d still like to contribute, head to Redeeming Life Ministries on Waldron Road in Aroma Park.

Happy Pi Day! 🥧

While π may be irrational…
our love for pie is not.

Market season returns May 2.

What’s your favorite kind of pie? 👇
