Little Farmers Club

Saturdays, June 6 - September 19, 2026

8:00am-12:00pm

Park Street between Lake & Seymour Streets

The Little Farmers Club is a fun weekly opportunity for kids (3-12) to engage in our local food system and community through educational activities, demonstrations, stories and exposure to a variety of foods. Kids even receive special market dollars to spend! The goal is to connect with community members to learn about building a healthy lifestyle and influencing their local food economy. We’ve partnered with numerous community members and organizations and we are excited to see the program continue to grow.

How it works

Early Registration: By registering your children (3+yrs) early, we can ensure we have the proper materials available weekly and the volunteers/support to make this program amazing for your young ones!

First week: Please stop by the MCC tent to register your child if you have not already done so (3+yrs). Additionally, kids will pick up their summer badge to use weekly.

Weekly: Check in at the MCC tent to learn about the day’s activities and to receive your market dollars. Attend the market and participate in the activities listed for a stamp on the membership card. Collect 10 stamps by the end of the season to receive a prize and certificate of completion!

Little Makers Market

The Mundelein Farmers Market will be welcoming young makers ages 6 and up to join the market as a vendor for the day! They may sell: handcrafted items (e.g.: jewelry, candles, soaps, tie-dye, and art), homemade food items packaged accordingly.

Each table with a child selling must have an adult chaperone (18 and older) at all times. The adult is responsible for overseeing the set-up, transactions, and break-down of the child’s table.

Participants must provide a table (and chair if desired). They are encouraged to provide signs for pricing, and advertising of their offerings. Due to space constraints, tents are not allowed for our Little Makers.

Please keep in mind, space is limited. Applications will be reviewed in the order they are received. The Market Manager will respond within 5 business days.
