Wednesday Evening Farmers Market Will Return For 2nd Season

BATAVIA, IL — The Wednesday evening farmers market in Batavia will return for its second season beginning June 4.

The midweek market will be held from 5-8 p.m. on North River Street between Wilson and State streets until Aug. 27. It gives shoppers a second opportunity — in addition to the Sunday farmers market — to shop fresh, local products in a "relaxed and vibrant atmosphere," organizer Batavia MainStreet said.

The market will feature a curated selection of returning favorites and new sellers for a total of 20 vendors each week.

New this year will be Chianti's, selling sauces and dressings; Fourth Dimension Flavors, offering homemade soups, stews and chilis; and Bella Rosa Cannoli, specializing in Sicilian-style cannoli and iced Italian sodas. Spring Bluff Nursery will also join the market with flowers, vegetable plants and hanging baskets.

Here's a look at this year's returning vendors:

• Gather Bakery
• The Cookie Maker
• Garlic Breath Farm
• Fae Forest Fungi
• Hason Microgreens & Herbs
• Creek Side Market Garden
• Kernel Dan's Kettle Corn
• Two Beekeepers
• Birdflower Farm
