The Palatine Farmers’ Market opens its 20th season on Saturday, May 7 with 27 vendors who will be selling their fresh-from-the-farm fruits and vegetables, organic meats and eggs, cheeses, olives, pickles, spices, pastas, mushrooms, breads, sweets and much more.
May markets will feature beautiful potted flowers, bedding plants of herbs, vegetables and flowers—just in time to get your gardens going and growing! Watch for the Palatine Garden Club’s Special Event in May when members bring local perennials from their gardens to sell.
Several University of Illinois Master Gardeners will offer their expertise by answering questions regarding lawn, garden, tree and insect problems.
Be sure to look for environmental “green” soaps, lotions and cleaning products that will be available along with whimsical pottery and hand-painted greeting cards.
Local musicians will entertain shoppers from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. The market, located in the train station parking lot at Wood and Smith streets, will be open from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. every Saturday until October 29.
For more information, contact Marg Duer, Market Manager, reduer@aol.com and/or 847-358-1649.
Live music and special events each week!
