Elisa Beck, who is related by marriage to the the family who owns the building where Schwartz Market is located at 1317 E. Carson Street, always made a point of serving as a parent chaperone when her daughter’s high school toured a certain area of the city with PHLF.

After listening to tour guide Louise Sturgess for several years, she became inspired to create a series of special events and promotions at Schwartz Market, South Side’s main street grocer, and to introduce local and organic produce there.

The first event on August 1 was a grand success.

A second event is planned for September 12, from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.

Stop by Schwartz Market on that day for cooking demonstrations and to see what new locally prepared foods are being introduced.
