Have fun at the farmers market this summer and beyond

Fruits and vegetables picked at peak perfection, flower bouquets bursting with color and texture, handcrafted goods that can’t be found anywhere else—shopping at a farmer’s market is not only nourishing for the body, but for the spirit.

Find the ripe, the one-of-a-kind, and above all else, the local at one of these Kane County spots this summer.
