Our Beginning Our Story Dedukas the original "PaPa" started in 1980 with 4 hives given to him by a friend. He owned a small truck farm in what was then Hinsdale Il. As you can see it quickly became a lot of work for just one person. He managed to turn his hobby into a real business with 100 hives. He still lived on the property but had to move the hives when he sold all but 1 acre where he lived until his passing in 2021 at age 95. His oldest son Ed is now the new "PaPa" and is very proud of wha

Running since 2013 outside St. John's in Naperville, this market draws more than 20 vendors selling produce, honey, meat, cheese, eggs, fish, baked goods, jam, and salsa. It runs weekly from late spring through mid-September at 750 Aurora Avenue.

Naperville

Our History Mayneland Farm has been growing and selling vegetables and fruits since 1976. The original 10 acre parcel was bought in 1949. In 1952 and 1954 two additional parcels were bought completing the present 15 acres. In the mid-seventies a close family friend, Don Zietlow, interested my mother in growing and selling vegetables. We already had the farm machinery bought in the 1950s for traditional grain farming, so it was a good match. My mother grew up on a farm in West Chicago and she lov

The zoo and patch open for the fall season only; the attached nursery and garden center run daily year-round.

The east-side counterpart to Aurora's historic downtown market sets up at 701 S. Eola Road on Saturdays during the same June-through-October run.

Its Facebook following, near 9,800, is large for a single-town Illinois market.

Aurora

Abbey Farms runs three seasons out of the same Butterfield Road property: summer produce, a fall Pumpkin Daze with what it calls the biggest corn maze in Kane County, and a winter Christmas tree lot where visitors can cut their own or buy pre-cut. Weekend fall nights add craft beer and outdoor movies. It's a working farm built around three distinct reasons to visit rather than one.

Stephen Street and Talcott Avenue Lemont

Lemont's market runs Tuesday evenings, 4 to 7 p.m., from late June through late September, with vendors drawn from within about two hours of town — no out-of-season produce trucked in from elsewhere.
