Farmers Market Opens Sunday

Buffalo Grove’s farmers market will kick off the season on Sunday, when more than 25 vendors will be on hand from 8 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at , 951 N. McHenry Road.

Because the first day coincides with Father’s Day, the market will hold a free raffle for all dads, who can register to win farmers market gift certificates.

Vendors at the market will sell meats, dairy products, vegetables, fruit, flowers, spices, herbs, seasonings, kettle corn, mushrooms, pastries, hot dogs, dog biscuits, tapenades and doughnuts made on site. Shoppers can also have their knives sharpened at the market.

Opening day entertainment includes folk, kids' and pop music and a balloon artist.

Non-perishable food items will be collected at the market’s information booth to benefit the food pantry.

The farmers market, which will run on Sundays through Oct. 16, is open rain or shine.
