Contactless pick-ups are done from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Sundays, behind the Wicker Park Chamber of Commerce Office, located at 1414 N. Ashland Ave. Each customer will be given a designated one-hour window to pick up their orders.

The market features several local farmers and food producers. They sell homemade and homegrown items.
