Farmers market season is slow to return in the northwest suburbs but the Wilmette French Market is here. Since none of the other farmers markets we usually visit have resumed for the season and it’s a really nice day, we thought we’d give this one a try.
It’s a tiny little market but parking is plentiful, easy, and free. (Though not enough handicap spaces – actually, I didn’t see any handicap spaces.)
The prices seemed a wee bit higher than the markets we visited last year – is that normal or is it the increased price of everything this year?
We bought a load of vegetables, some more pastries and breads from Bennison’s stand and I bought a bleeding heart which seemed pretty reasonably priced (in comparison to most of the other plants for sale there.)I don’t usually find many pieces of jewelry, at markets, that I consider buying but in this little market, I saw several pieces that I liked for various members of the family. Again, they were a wee bit higher in price than I’d like but… I think I’ll be back and I think I’ll buy.
