Batavia Indoor Farmers Market Coming To Sturdy Shelter Brewing

BATAVIA, IL — The final Batavia Farmers Market might be Saturday, but it'll only be one week until shoppers can stock up on fresh produce — it'll just be indoors.

The new season of the Batavia Indoor Market kicks off Nov. 1 at Sturdy Shelter Brewing, 10 S. Shumway Ave. It'll run from 9 a.m. to noon every Saturday through mid-May at the brewery, a move from the 2024 market at Grainology BrewStillery and 2023's at The Dock.

More than 20 local vendors will sell a diverse range of products, from produce, farm-raised meats and eggs to hot sauces, baked goods, kombucha and gourmet mushrooms. All vendors are required to grow, harvest or produce at least 75 percent of their market offerings.

Returning favorites include Van Laar's Fruit Farm, Mighty Greens Farm and Hufendick Farm. New vendors include North Sky Farm, selling organic cow's milk cheese; Rosewood Farm, offering fall and winter vegetables, canned goods, herb salts and dried florals; and Ugly Noodle, specializing in gluten-free handmade pastas.

Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits will be accepted at the indoor market. Shoppers will also have the ability to double their dollars with Link Match when purchasing fresh fruits and vegetables.

A weekly vendor list will be shared on the Batavia Farmers Market Facebook and Instagram pages.
