Not as many fruit/vegetable vendors and not too many food vendors either. Always end up buying dog treats from a one of the vendors. Pros: -hours -free parking -dog friendly Cons: -not that many vendors (fruit/vegetable/food) Not sure we'd be back..

This was probably one of the nicest farmers markets that I have been to in the area. They have a…read morewide variety of vendors that sell jewelry, vegetables, fruit, coffee, spices, baked goods and more! Parking could potentially be a few blocks away, but worth it. Many of the vendors accept cash and card.

Oh my goodness!! What an amazing market! From the varieties of vendors, to the food, to the layout…read more-- I see why this market gets so much attention. If you can't find a reason to visit this market, make on up. Whether you're in need of produce, flowers, food, meal prep, gifts or just a reason to get out of the house. I was most surprised by the amount of quality textiles, jewelry and clothing. There were a lot of oohh's and ahhh's while walking these booths. You have your typical farmer's market vendors but then so much more. I have to give honorable mention to Eternal Buzz Coffee. The wife and husband duo, Rachel and Vito, run this amazing nonprofit. This booth was too hopping not to notice! They were not only whipping out amazing authentic British scones and real Italian roast coffee drinks, but they were passionate and so very genuinely kind. I got a whole run down about the market from Vito and some great recommendations to try.

It's the best market I've been to in the Tri-City area. The vendors are from sustainable sources…read more There's amazing produce. There's a cheese guy. There's a local meat guy. There's great bread. What more can you ask for?? If you love quality ingredients, go here every Thursday when in season (June-October). Also, friendly people run the market. (It's located on the west side of the river, just north of rt. 38)

Not the kind of farmers market I had in mind. I was looking to buy fruit and produce, and there was…read morejust one vendor that sells produce. His prices were very reasonable, but selection was small. There are mostly food trucks here, and the live music was nice. I definitely like the late hours and the pretty riverside scenery, but very disappointed in the minimal produce available. Parking is free right next to the market, which was a pleasant surprise!! Despite being close to my house, I won't be going back. The Wheaton French Market is nicer and has more variety.

Pros: -longer hrs compared to the typical morning only farmer's market -free parking in a covered garage -dog friendly -clean -live band / music -options to dine in at restaurants near by Cons: -not the anticipated farmer's market I was expecting (mainly vendors & food truck options, but no fruits/veggies etc like the farmer's markers in the city

Swap in a different protein each day and you get the gist. Simple, functional, done. But weekends? Weekends are for flavor. That is when I pull out a Japanese cookbook from Mitsuwa or cue up one of those beautifully shot YouTube recipe videos I have saved. The kids rally around, ready to help and ready to veto anything green I might try to sneak in. We read the recipe, make a list, and head to the Saturday farmers market. Open from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM, May 10 through October 11, the Arlington Heights Farmers Market is where all my plans unravel in the best possible way. Baby eggplants too cute to leave behind. Crisp pickling cucumbers. Potatoes still dusted with dirt. Peaches so fragrant they announce themselves from a stand away. Sour cherries with a perfect bite. Heirloom tomatoes I did not know existed but now dream about. Basil that perfumes the car ride home. Cherry preserves with no sugar. Lavender honey from bourbon barrels. And I have not even mentioned the cheese. The shopping list goes out the window. Imagination takes the wheel. Dinner becomes an adventure and a memory. If you love food, cooking, or just need a little inspiration, this place speaks your language. The language of romance, but with vegetables.

(Palatine used to be a bigger draw for me due to the variety and choices, but AH has caught up!) I particularly love the baguettes from St. Roger's Abbey. The nun selling the bread is a fluent French speaker and I've overheard several French-only conversations with customers. My French is quite pathetic so I just say, "Bonjour!' and "Oui!" This is also a great place to get your fresh produce, cheese, and coffee needs filled. It is conveniently located next to the Memorial Library, so you can check out some books and then get some produce, bread, and coffee. The AH Farmer's Market is a nice way to kick off the weekend in my opinion.
