The Friday Farmers Market: Where the Week Gets to End Well
There's a version of Friday afternoon that doesn't involve a crowded grocery store.
“A Friday farmers market isn't an errand. It's the transition between the work week and everything else — and it tastes significantly better than ending the week at a chain supermarket.”
Friday farmers markets in Elgin, Illinois tend to be calmer than Saturday's crowds — the vendors who show up are regulars, and you get more attention, not less.
We've all done the Friday afternoon grocery run. The store is packed. Everyone is tired. The produce section looks like it was hit first by the week's supply chain and last by the restock crew. You grab what's left, you wait in a long checkout line, and you head home carrying bags that contain a general disappointment.
