This is the most wonderful farmers' market. As a resident of Woodstock I have had the pleasure of going to this market for years and it just keeps getting better and better. Many of the growers even use organic methods and all of the produce is high quality. The market board is committed to keeping this a farmer centered market while still allowing other vendors in the park to add variety. You can even buy a handmade apron there. You can't get better meat than Willow Lea it feels good to know how well the animals are being cared for. I am looking forward to the fresh tomatoes and eggplant that should be coming soon and for Nancy's garlic to dry so that I can buy one of the braids. There are even samples. The local farmers' co-op cheese is great and you can follow it with a sample of local wine. It's wonderful to get to know the farmers who grow your food. We are so fortunate to have an authentic farmers' market. We may have to wait until the tomatoes ripen in McHenry County, but it's worth it. By the way, don't miss out on the homemade hummus at Expressly Leslie it's amazing!
