Since its grand opening, the market has achieved many successes. During summer and autumn months of this year, the market changed its venue to the Neighborhood Housing Services (NHS) parking lot, at 3601 West Chicago Avenue. It continues to flourish into a one-stop shop where community members can gather to purchase healthy food options such as fresh fruits, vegetables and so much more!
