Brookfield, IL

The Brookfield Farmers Market is a vibrant, community-driven event held on the west side of Brookfield Village Hall at 8820 Brookfield Avenue. Entering its 18th season in 2025, the market welcomes over 40,000 visitors annually, making it one of the most well-attended markets in the region. Open every Saturday from June through October, 8:00 AM to 1:00 PM, the market features a curated selection of local farmers, artisans, and small businesses offering fresh fruits and vegetables, baked goods, honey, sauces, handmade soaps, candles, and unique crafts. A standout feature is the Young Entrepreneurs Market, a dedicated space for kids under 16 to launch and run their mini businesses. From crafts and artwork to baked goods and creative products, these young vendors bring energy, innovation, and inspiration to the market — and are a favorite among shoppers. Each week, the market also features live music, family-friendly entertainment, and special themed events.

Before you go.

Markets change days and hours with the season, and the USDA directory this listing comes from does not carry hours for every market. If a day matters, check the market's own page or call the manager. At markets that take SNAP, you usually swipe once at an information booth for tokens, and many states match SNAP dollars spent on fruit and vegetables.

Worth asking before you go:

  • What days and months does it run?
  • Is there a SNAP booth, and is there a matching program?
  • Which vendors grow what they sell?

If you sell local product.

Coolers and display cases are where product is won or lost. These pages show how to watch them for a few dollars.
