The Maywood Multi-Cultural Farmer’s Market, a collaborative effort by the Village of Maywood, Loyola Medical Center and Maywood Public Library, will begin Saturday, June 5.  The market, which this year will be open every Saturday through October 16 from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., will be held on the Maywood Library campus, 121 S. 5th Avenue. 

Maywood’s market will have vegetables, fruits, and flowers, as well as hand-crafted items, baked goods and artwork.  Also anticipated are health screenings, activities for youth and tips for providing healthy foods and drinks for children. 

Coordinators once again include Maywood resident Loretta Brown, local chiropractor Cynthia Winston and Lena Hatchett from Loyola Medical Center.  Master gardeners from the University of Illinois (Chicago) volunteered last year and will be encouraged once again to be on hand at the “help desk.”
