Event Season
On April 23rd, Event season officially began for us at the Frankfort Farmers Market. Were adding on a few more events every weekend for 2023 starting the first weekend of June! Also, we will be working on getting more pop ups at the store on Fridays that will benefit the community, thinking fresh locally grown foods would be pretty cool? Stay tuned. On June 3rd, we reenter the Naperville Farmers Market. It will take place every Saturday until November. The market runs at 7am-12pmOn June 4th, we will reenter the Plainfield Farmers Market every Sunday. This market runs from 11am-3pm. We will continue to be working the Frankfort market all year, Cait and I will be dividing and conquering on Sundays to get to everywhere we need to be. We may be getting the help of a few smiling faces as well! See you at the Markets! |
