The Oakwood Public Library will be hosting the Oakwood Farmers’ Market this summer.
The 2021 market will be held near the rail trail and the new village building off of S. Scott St. in Oakwood, IL every Wednesday from June 16th – October 6th from 5-7pm.
With the motto is “make it, bake it, or grow it”, anyone with homemade or homegrown items to sell is welcome to join.
The Oakwood Public Library will be hosting a meeting for all vendors interested in participating on Thursday, April 8th at 5 pm at the Oakwood Public Library. During the meeting, the vendors will learn about the registration process and information on a Cottage Food License for selling home-baked goods will be available.
During that time, the vendors will be able to sign up for the market to sell, and sign up for the Community Food Service Sanitation Class needed to be able to sell homemade food items.
The cost to be a vendor will be as follows:
- $10.00 registration fee for all vendors
- $5.00 a week or a punch card for $20.00 for any 4 weeks
- $75.00 for the entire season (17 weeks)
- There will be an extra $5.00 a week charge for anyone that needs electricity.
The Community Food Service Sanitation Classes will be held on the following days:
- Friday, April 16th 5pm-9pm and Saturday, April 17th 9am-4pm
- Wednesday, April 28th 1pm-6pm and Thursday, April 29th 1pm-6pm
- Saturday, May 1st 8am-6pm
For anyone needing the class they will only need to select one of the date choices. The class is an 8 hour course that will also provide the test to be certified.
The cost for the class is $80.00 for those that preregister to sell at the Oakwood Farmers’ Market for at least 4 weeks. If you do not preregister for the farmers’ market the cost is $120.00
A minimum of 6 people sign up per class is required for the class to continue.
