Buffalo Grove's Farmers Market kicks off 2016 season

Buffalo Grove's Farmers Market kicked off its 2016 season Sunday with a some new vendors coupled with child-oriented entertainment.

The usual array of items and services were available on opening day even though a couple of vendors canceled at the last minute.   Members of the Farmers Marker Committee expressed hope that the problems keeping missing vendors from the Market will be resolved.

 A downside to Farmers Market opening in early June, something that is not inherent to the Buffalo Grove Farmers Market, is a seemingly small selection of produce -- with good reason -- it's still early in the growing season. 

Buffalo Grove's Farmers Market runs every Sunday (except Labor Day weekend, which is Buffalo Grove Days) through Oct. 9   The Market is open from 8 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and is located at Mike Rylko Community Park, 951 McHenry Road.
