Yesterday, Green Mansions visited the first Barrington Farmers Market of the season. Located by the Northwest Metra train tracks in downtown Barrington, the market included local nurseries, farmers, food vendors, and an area non-profit organization, Smart Farms. Though small in size, the market had a bevy of fresh foods, including delicious strawberries from Cedar Creek Organics and local honey from S & D Honey.
Barrington Farmers Market is held each Thursday from 2pm – 7pm at the corner of Main Street (Lake Cook Road) and South Cook Street. The market runs throughout the summer months and ends October 21, 2010.
