I visited for the holiday weekend so I assume it was a lot more crowded than normal. Either way, it was very easy to navigate and there were tons of vendors.

I would certainly come back to this farmer's market to see the difference during the regular week.

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!

My husband had two emergency surgeries back to back and we had to close the stores. Seasons Market owes me 1200.00 and refuses to answer my calls or emails. I will make it my business to let all their customers know how they treat their vendors until I am paid. They have taken advantage of me and my husband during our most vulnerable time. Is that really who you want to give your money to?

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!!

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.

I decided that today will be my last visit here. I live right down the road, and sometimes I walk…read morehere to get my "steps" in. I have gone here for over 20 years, and during most visits I have not been treated well. The ladies have been unhelpful, or closed-mouthed when answering my questions, and just simply unfriendly. Perhaps they are just over-worked or tired. At least that's how I justified their off-handed treatment of me, and my continued patronage over the years. So I put up with a fleeting moment of mistreatment. But today, that same old bad attitude appeared after I asked a simple question during my visit, that could've been answered more directly & easily. I questioned myself why do I even bother, especially when their produce isn't superior to other places I can go, to get farm fresh produce. There are more farmer's markets around, such as McDonald's Farm at Knoch Knolls Park in Naperville. Maybe my visits were wrapped in (wannabe) nostalgia, or due to convenience of location. Whatever, today I hit the top of my tolerance for their rude-ish treatment. This decision should have been made after an earlier visit this summer when a cashier looked at me crazy because I did not leave an electronically-produced request for a tip. For what?? Standing there just doing your job ringing up an order??? And lastly, their produce isn't the tastiest, and is really overpriced in comparison to other places around. I guess I kind of felt sorry & wanted to support the place. But no more. I am finally done. Fed up and moving on. Mayneland Farm is no longer an option for me.

They used to be amazing! I loved their produce and friendly service. However, since the farm has…read morebeen sold to another management, it has gone downhill.

I like the convenient layout of the market where the vendors are pretty much in a couple rows and there are porta potties and plenty of parking close by.
