Our Indoor Market+ is a smaller version of our 5X Award-Winning Farmers Market with 50+ farmers, food purveyors and a few artisans. Most of our farmers & vendors indoors are also in our outdoor market, so you are bound to still find your favorites! This historic property is a unique and perfect setting for a “Sip and Shop” Sunday experience with live music each week, brunch beverages that pair deliciously with either breakfast or lunch options served throughout the indoor market season! Plus a big-screen TV featuring sports located in the bar area. We are not a typical Farmers Market, which is why we have a “plus” in our name! Our goal is to offer you more!

Although Mark grew up in the Chicago suburbs playing bluegrass with his father and friends, many of his influences come from the South after moving to Atlanta when he was a teenager. Bands like the Allman Brothers, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Widespread Panic, and The Black Crowes are just a few of his influences. Mark toured the Southeastern US as lead guitar for bands Stone Soup and Hobo Lingo until eventually moving back to Chicagoland in 2005, where he currently frequents bars and coffee houses as a solo acoustic performer.
