Store is really small with a few aisles to make your shopping trip quick. It absolutely felt like I was in a time capsule (in a good way) but this place has tons of great food items and harder to find cooking items. This is THE PLACE to shop at if you're a vegan or have strict dietary restrictions. From soaps, essential oils, veggies, ice cream, cereals, energy drinks and so much more, this place has it all. It's definitely pricey but it's worth a visit and a greater alternative to the Fresh Thyme market near by.

Unfortunately, since the new ownership took over, things just haven't been the same. Staff morale has dropped, customer satisfaction is declining, and management decisions have been frustrating and confusing--at one point, a Queen of All Greens smoothie was somehow made pink. That's just one example, but it reflects a bigger issue. It's disappointing, because I truly enjoyed being a part of the team. But due to the ongoing decline in quality and poor management, I've made the difficult decision to resign. I honestly didn't want to leave, but I know it's the right choice. Hopefully this can all get fixed and i can go back.

Dollinger Family Farm checked all the boxes, so we gave it a shot. I'm so glad I did because we had a very positive experience. We arrived on a Saturday right when it opened to avoid crowds. There were others there, but distancing was so easy. There were signs everywhere about wearing a mask and there was also a hand-washing station. We noticed a lot of other farms that are an easy drive from like Chicago did not take this pandemic seriously at all, so we loved supporting a farm that did take it seriously. We looked a bit at the animals--so cute!--before heading over to look at the pumpkins (AKA the main event). They had a tractor set up with a bunch of assorted squash for the perfect photo op. Then, pumpkins were sorted into piles based on size with a sign with the price. For example, a pile with $8 pumpkins. I believe the most expensive were $12. We selected two $8 pumpkins that were huge! My only suggestion would be to actually label the pumpkins with prices. The people in front of us in line picked a pumpkin from the $9 pile, but the employee insisted that this was too big of a pumpkin to have come from that pile. She said sometimes customers move the pumpkins around. I don't blame the customers for being a little frustrated because they obviously picked their pumpkin with the price in mind. We were worried this might happen to us, but they did not question when we told them we picked $8 pumpkins. The service was excellent. An employee actually took our pumpkins and we could drive up to pick them up before leaving. It was so helpful not to have to carry these huge pumpkins over to the car ourselves. We will definitely be back next year!

Trash. Business owners have a literal pointed gun as their Facebook profile picture (saying "wrong house", and they host having kids story time with the local library. Vote for who you want to vote for (yes, he uses the term "libtards" too! I wonder how the special needs community feels about that!), but I'll be talking to some of the local small businesses who work together with Bronkberry Farms about who these people are and what they stand for. read more

They have decided to stop the music and the people stopped coming and now there's very few vendors. Bad decision you guys. And what makes it even worse is they are still advertising live music. You see people walking around with lawn chairs asking where the band is playing. Horrible.

On the plus side: local farmers, local businesses, live band, kids' activities, on the premises of The Promenade Bolingbrook mall - so plenty of parking plus if you need to shop at the mall you can do both. Lots of people, which is great! On the not negative side: in our eyes, a farmers' market should promote local, family-owned, small businesses, not huge corporate chains. We were disappointed to see there were a lot of chain restaurants in their own booths, promoting/serving their food. Yes, there should be hot food served at the farmers' market, but it should come from local restaurants. We probably won't come back. We decided to stop in and check it out mostly because we saw the signs coming out of IKEA. Overall, not a bad experience, but not fabulous either.

Some of the green produce (lettuce, herbs) at at least one vendor was a bit wilted today, maybe it wasn't super fresh, or maybe it's because it's 96 degrees out. Anyway, it's worth checking out.
