Now operated by Food Literacy Center to support our goal of access because we want everyone to eat their vegetables! A community survey conducted at the time revealed that residents couldn’t easily access fresh, healthy produce. Last year, the market faced a temporary setback as its nonprofit host shifted priorities, opting to close the market. Joany Titherington, the market founder and an Oak Par
k resident, has never wavered in her commitment to retain this community service. She has tirelessly raised funding to reopen the market through a government grant. However, that funding won’t be available until 2024, leaving this year’s market unfunded. Help us save the Oak Park Farmers Market! We need to raise $180,000 to open in May. Joany has already secured half of this.
