DEERFIELD, IL — As the Deerfield Farmers Market continues through its fourth decade, it will have a new permanent for the 28th season. The market will call Park Avenue, between Jewett Park Drive and Hazel Avenue, every Saturday starting June 11 through Oct. 15. Mary S. Glowacz, management analyst for the Village of Deerfield, tells Patch the market will run from 7 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. "With a bonus market date on the third Saturday in October, this is our longest market season to date," Glowacz said. "We have a lot of fun activities, entertainments, and events planned to make this our best season yet." Glowacz said the market will continue its focus on the promise of "food, friends and fun" with the return of many beloved market activities this season. She said the market is dedicated to providing fresh, locally grown and prepared food in a safe, open-air shopping experience. In addition, this season, market patrons will be able to enjoy many traditional market activities tailored to fit into our new market environment. Returning market activities will include live musical performances, kids' activities, civic groups' participation, and special events.
