Local food, friendly faces
Every vendor grows, raises, or makes what they sell, from seasonal produce and pasture-raised meats to baked goods, honey, soaps, and handcrafted products, creating a vibrant space filled with local food and friendly faces.
Run by a volunteer board of local residents, the market is committed to strengthening Elgin’s local economy, increasing food access through SNAP, and supporting small farmers, ranchers, and makers. By working closely with the city and neighboring Main Street businesses, Thursday evenings have become a lively downtown tradition.
