Ravinia Farmers Market: 10/20/2010 Update
Roger Williams Dr., East of Green Bay Road
Adjacent to Jens Jensen Park
Highland Park (Ravinia), IL
Hours: 7:00 AM – 1:00 PM Wednesdays, June 16th through October 20th
My last round-up of the 2010 Ravinia Farmers market is a listing of all of the vendors in attendance for the final market of 2010; several will be around at other later-ending North Shore markets. Note that food vendors outnumbered farmers at over a 2:1 ratio; I have also noted prepared food vendors have cycled out at an accelerated rate this year. Not necessarily a criticism, merely an observation of the state of the market, and perhaps the fortunes of its non-agricultural vendors.
