    Today was the first day I have been to the Wilmette French Market this year. It is a bit different of course like everything else. For safety, people need to wear a mask and there is only one direction in which you can walk. They prefer if you use a credit card for purchases but some vendors have a purchase limit for using them. I asked if cash was allowed and they said they are still taking that too. There are not as many vendors selling fresh items like in prior years. I noticed more that were not local as well. However, I still was able to walk out with some awesome strawberries, tomatos, apples, green onions, colby cheese with basil in it, and duck eggs. So tomorrow we will have a delicious breakfast feast! I still love going and supporting these farmers and small business.

    Nice farmer's market although not as broad variety of vegetables as other markets. There are lots of vendors selling clothing, jewelry and knick knacks taking away from the supposed "French" feel of it. The crepe vendor and coffee purveyor had a lot of attention though. The nuns are there selling their baked goods. Those fruit tarts are quite tasty. It would be nicer if there are more organic vegetables featured, but in all it's an interesting place to visit.

    Ravinia Farmers Market - It's berry season and now the peaches have come in. Local and small farms provide the freshest and tastiest produce.

    One of the most amazing places to buy super fresh, high quality veggies, eggs, grass fed meat,…read morebread, flowers, local honey, and the best berries you'll ever eat. Come and support these farmers!

    When it comes to farmer's markets I'm like Goldilocks. Some like Daley and Green City are great but…read moretoo big...a human ant farm. Some are like Lincoln Square and Muscatine are too small. This one, however, is just right! Cozy, welcoming, never crowded. And with a tidy collection of much needed selections. Duhviously there's the produce and flowers- the staples of every FM. And those are good. The variety of apples, tomatoes, and potatoes are stupendous. All the other seasonal stuff is the usual jive but the myriad Michigan berries are big and juicy. The flowers though not very plentiful in kinds, are very good quality and priced well. By that competitive for a FM on the NS and most the same price Sonora simple. Some tasty WI cheeses are sold. They also sell fresh and natural dog bones (bones for dogs) of different sizes (alas G is too small for the smallest) so you can get fido a treat. The highlights to this reviewer are the the soup and salad guy who only uses super high quality ingredients and employees people in need ( those in transition or differently abled) also the knife and blade sharpening guy! So warm, charming, and great prices. They know their stuff too! It's open from 7am to 1pm Wed from spring to fall. Don't be a grumpy old bear and stop on by!

    Bring your dog to this good market. 2 organic farmers a lot of good food this year to enjoy too…read more The a veggie burgers, donuts and ice cream are worth a trip. Bring your knives too, as there is a knife sharpener. No less than 8 produce vendors. 4 bakeries, unique vendors selling dog treats by the #. Lots of flowers being sold too and soaps. Sure the kids are packed in this market and so are the strollers, but there is a lull around 10am, as the first wave of early risers moves through. Forget the snow cone vendor, and get some Epic ice cream. Or a cuppa coffee from Cafe on the wall selling delicious Dark Matter coffee.

    I have to say that I'm really surprised by the farmer's markets that have been established on the…read morenorthwest side. I visited the North Branch Market a few weeks ago and this weekend decided to check out the Park Ridge Farmer's Market, and it's another great market. Honestly, I don't get the popularity of something like the Green City Market and though the Lincoln Square Farmer's Market (which used to be my usual) isn't anywhere near as good. There are lots of vendors here. The portion of the market where I entered had a lot of food and goods vendors--pizza truck, ice cream company, bakery, kettle corn, olive oil (there were two!), textiles, soaps & scents, and more. I thought that street was the extent of the market, but when I neared the end I saw that it extends into the parking lot on the street and that section has a lot more. There were at least five different farm operations represented, a man selling meats, and there was a cheese stand as well. It's the height of summer, so I ended up with plums, blackberries, blue cheese and curds, some bread, and a couple other goodies. This market was a really great balance of the Farm in Farmer's market with so many selling here and various other sundries. A four-piece classical quartet serenaded folks as they wandered the market; I assume that the musical entertainment changes from week to week. They had a children's activity booth where this weekend kids were playing with clay with a local artist, and there was a community booth where a local food pantry was collecting donations (the market was also encouraging folks to buy two of an item to donate one to the food pantry). Again, their schedule changes, so I got the impression that the children's activity may be different on different weekends. The market opens early (7 a.m., I think) and the kid's booth starts around 9. Parking is excellent. There's a lot off the street where the market is held with space for a great deal of cars--I think its primary function is as a municipal lot. There's also copious amounts of street parking around as well. If you're in the area on Saturday while the market is in swing, this is a fantastic one you should put on your agenda.
