Farms Near Woodstock, IL

Woodstock's market runs producer-only — everything sold is grown, raised, or made by the person at the table. It sets up on the Town Square Tuesdays and Saturdays, 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., from early May through the end of October, and was voted Illinois's number one farmers market in 2020. Produce, meat, flowers, baked goods, and artisan foods fill the square each market day.
