Welcome back Schaumburg Farmers Market vendors! We are so glad you are here now through October…read more Some of my favorite stops are Nichols Farm for fresh veggies and fruit, Gindos sauces, The Cheese People, Gigawatt coffee, and the doggie treat vendor for unique pet finds with a wide variety of baked treats. And so many others! There are always plenty of parking spots nearby and my favorite time to go is first thing in the morning, before it gets too busy. I grab an iced coffee or fresh lemonade and I look forward to warm apple cider donuts for my Fall morning treat. The Farmers Market is a great place to start my Friday. I truly appreciate the hard working business owners and Village of Schaumburg who arrive super early and bring this Market to our area. Thank you!

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.

The market has some brick and mortar stands as well as true small businesses. Some vendors will be rotated while others will be weekly staples. I thoroughly enjoyed hearing about some of the vendor's products and where their business started! Roselle is the perfect addition to the "french market" cities and I cannot wait to visit again soon!

I want to like this farmer's market so much because it is close to me and easy to get to, but alas,…read moreI cannot. It's a fairly small market and it's lacking in produce stands. I get that Farmer's Markets are also a great place to sell other specialty items but the vegetables are the main thing I'm looking for. Some of the vegetables looked sad and wilted already and I couldn't believe the prices they were still charging for them. I did buy some bratwurst from a meat vendor that was there and they had some good stuff available, but again it was pricey. I understand that vendors need to charge more for their items but spending way more than I would at grocery store for the same items is a turn-off for me. Maybe I'm just spoiled because I used to visit farmers markets in Iowa (Iowa City and Dubuque) and both of those were quite spectacular with a wide array of options. The best thing about this market was the fresh squeezed lemonade I bought. Thankfully the vendor offers $2.50 lifetime refills so I can buy something when I visit again.

I wanted some strawberries (as did my strawberry fanatic of a toddler--a girl after my own heart)…read more So we packed up and headed to Tom's to get some. No interest in U-Pick, thank you, though they do this throughout the season (check their instagram for info on when they are allowing U-Pick). It was a fine place but I'm not sure if I would make the trip again. It was an hour drive and we got our strawberries, walked around a bit, and left; all told we were there for maybe 20 minutes or so and I don't think it was worth the drive. I'll probably pick up from a farmer's market instead, unless I'm nearby. They have more than just the produce here, as there's a little gift shop area on the one side of the building that has gift items, children's toys and clothes, and more. They also have a counter where you can order food, and a nice outdoor area to eat at. I will say that what I REALLY appreciated was that it wasn't a farm carnival, as some of them are now with rides and lines and parking that's blocks away. This is a more straightforward farm stand, which is what I wanted.

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.
