We will be at the Market this Saturday. (We are booked every OTHER week). Hoping for a change in the weather forecast for no rain! I'm sure it won't be a washout. Come on out. "The joint will be jumpin.,"
It will be a full house with every vendor space occupied. We'll be in our usual space between Papa's Honey and Cindy's Rock Starz. Looking forward to seeing you!

Opa and Oma will be back at the Market this Saturday (5/23). This is our schedule this year...every other week. After a good opening day a couple weeks ago, we're stocked and ready for another beautiful day this Saturday. Come on out and say Hi, and maybe try something new.

Yesterday was opening day at the year's Downtown Downers Grove Market. It was a great day and so nice to see so many familiar faces and to make new friends.

Just a reminder, this year we will be at the Market EVERY OTHER WEEK! So our next date will be Saturday May 23rd. Check our website for a list of all of this year's dates

We're baaaaack! It's almost time! This Saturday, the Market opens at 7 AM and runs until 12:30 PM.

Opa has been quite busy making all the Very Low sodium condiments and sauces you love! Of course we'll have samples for tasting if you want to try something new.

We're looking forward to seeing all our returning customers and greeting new ones. See you Saturday.

Today was Opening Day for the baseball season. AND, May 9th is Opening Day for the Downtown Downers Grove Market!! Opa's getting ready. This week Opa made 9 gallons of Pizza Sauce!! Last week, 8 gallons of BBQ. (The two most popular items we offer). Next week, Honey Mustard. We'll be ready for Opening Day. Hope you stop by.

Well, it's March. Time for Opa to get ready for this season at the Downtown Downers Grove Market. Haven't received the final contract from the Market, but it typically starts the Saturday of Mother's Day weekend which would be May 9th. Stay tuned for the official announcement, but Opa will have plenty of product ready. See you soon.

Well, it has been a while since the last day of the Downtown Downers Grove Market, but Opa has restocked inventory and is ready to move forward with a new option for our customers.

You can place your orders for your favorite Opa's condiment and/or sauce, but if you want to avoid shipping charges, you can arrange to PICK UP your order at the Main Street Metra Station (the same place where the market was)!

Go to the website (opassmallbatch.com) and navigate to the Online Store. Place your items in the cart, and when you get to Checkout, make sure you add a comment in the "Special Instructions" box that you would like to arrange for pickup at the train station. If any shipping charges calculate during the order process, these will be refunded.

Pickups will be available on Saturdays (EXCEPT Dec 13th) between 10 AM - 12 Noon inside the train station.

It's probably time to re-stock yourself, or plan on giving a gift basket of Opa's Very Low Sodium sauces. In any event, I look forward to seeing you!

Hi everyone! This Saturday, September 27th, will be Opa's last market day this year. A great opportunity to stock up on your favorite products - or try some new ones! We're having our Year-end Sale: Buy any 3 bottles/jars and receive a small jar of your choice FREE - while supplies last. It's forecast to be a beautiful day so come on out.

09/16/2025

Just a short reminder to all our friends and customers, we will NOT be at the Market this Saturday. We will return for our final day on Saturday September 27th - although the market will continue for a few more weeks. Return your empties for $ off savings and stock up with our year end sale!

09/13/2025

It's a wet start to the day, but it's early. Radar forecast shows things will clear up around 9 AM. Plenty of time to come on out... we'll be here until 12:30!

Opa and Oma are back from vacation and looking forward to another great day at the Market and seeing all our friends. We will be at the Market only two more Saturdays...this week the 13th and two weeks later on the 27th. Don't miss our year end sale -- buy any 3 bottles or jars and get a half-pint (small) jar of your choice FREE. While supplies last. It's gonna be a beautiful day!

It was a good, albeit HOT day at the Market today. This post is a reminder to our customers that Oma and Opa are going on vacation. We will return to the Market for our final 2 days of the season on September 13th and 27th. We'll have a "stock up" sale...buy any 3 bottles or jars and receive a FREE half pint jar of your choice, while supplies last. See you in September! And don't forget to bring your empty Opa's jars for $1 off your purchase. That's $1 for each bottle/jar returned.

08/08/2025

Sorry we sold out of three items last week. We're coming prepared with lots of product for Saturday. But, just in case, come early - and bring your empty Opa's bottles and jars and receive $1 off your purchase for each return! Save the planet and save some money!

08/01/2025

Opa and Oma will be back at the Market on Saturday and we're looking forward to greeting all of our friends and customers again. We're getting close to the end of OUR season with only 4 more dates on our schedule. So, we're having a "Year-end Sale" so you can stock up! And remember, return your empties for $1 OFF your purchase for every bottle/jar you return!

07/26/2025

Due to the current weather conditions and forecast for severe weather and flood watch, we have decided to NOT set up at the Market today, July 26th. We had hoped that Mother Nature would give us all a break, but it's going to be another wet and stormy day. We hope everyone is safe and dry after yesterday's downpour and flooding.

Here's hoping for sunny, bright and dry skies next week!

If you need product in the meantime, you can order online and we'll get it to you in a few days. www.opassmallbatch.com

A selection of nine low sodium sauces and condiments with little salt and BIG flavor.

Well, the forecast keeps jumping around a bit, but there should be several hours, at least, without rain. So come on out to the Market Saturday. We'll be there!
