2022 Season

Season recap

2022: Back at full strength

After two strange seasons, 2022 was the year our markets felt like themselves again. Saturday mornings at 14&U and Sundays at Bloomingdale packed the sidewalks. Producers reported some of their best volume in years, and the chef tent ran almost every weekend from May through November.

Highlights from 2022

  • Cooking demos returned to a weekly rhythm at both markets
  • Bonus Bucks redemptions grew substantially compared to 2021
  • New seasonal producers joined the lineup across spring and fall
  • Kids' programming made a full comeback after pandemic pauses

It was a season that reminded us what these markets are for, neighbors running into neighbors, kids tasting a peach off the tree, a farmer telling you exactly which field your kale came from.
