Veg Out All Winter at St. Ann Center’s Indoor Farmers Market
Folks who love to eat local can take their pick from a bounty of products at St. Ann Center’s Indoor Winter Farmers Market. More than 25 vendors will fill the Center’s warm and sunny atrium at 2801 East Morgan Avenue every Saturday, November 7 through April 30. Open 9 a.m. – 1 p.m., the market is free, and the public is welcome.
Shoppers can peruse a fresh selection of organic produce and meats, jams, jellies and soups, handmade arts and crafts, soaps, lotions and seasonal decor. One-of-kind jewelry designed and handcrafted by Sister Edna Lonergan, president of St. Ann Center, will also be available for purchase. Her unique collection includes bracelets, rings, earrings, necklaces and more.
To start the season off on a healthy note, St. Ann Center’s new Health and Wellness Clinic will offer flu shots and cholesterol screenings for $20 each at the first two indoor markets, November 7 and 14, from 9 to 11 a.m. Free blood pressure checks will also be available.
Beverages, snacks and baked goods will be sold by vendors and the St. Ann Center Marketplace Cafe.
Special events during the indoor market season include a chili and vintage jewelry sale on November 21, pictures with Santa on December 5, free Christmas gift wrapping on December 19, Valentine’s Day card-making on February 13, chili and vintage jewelry spring sale on March 19, pictures with the Easter Bunny on March 26 and a rummage sale on the closing day, April 30.

Hello Cathy, My name is Wendy Hammernik. I recently retired and would like wade into the craft sale stream. I would sell crochet items of various types. I am aware now that I started months too late to secure a site rental. Tony from the South Milwaukee Market suggested I try your Market. I would be interested in December 5 or 11. Thank You for your time.
Sincerely, Wendy 414-762-3773
