I'm a HUGE fan of fresh produce! I shop 4 times a week for my groceries and am in actual HEAVEN when I am out of the Country at open air markets. My favorite time of year is when the snow has melted and the sun is shining bright, the breeze is light and the farm stands are up. Farmers Markets are a way of life for me during the summer months and I love hitting them up as often as I can. Here is a list of Rockford Area ones that I frequent and some that I hope to visit this year. It's a fresh list, since the season has just begun and I have not gotten all the start dates yet, so I will be updating it as the times and dates come in!

We usually spend our weekends in Geneva and they have a FANTASTIC open air French Market in town near the train depot. It's a great market with fantastic produce, I love the Granola and the flowers! This Market is on Sundays and on Saturdays is the Community Winter market, so as you can see I cover my bases wherever I go!
Share some of your favorite markets, no matter where you live!
