Farmers Markets near Sugar Grove, IL

Sugar Grove Farmers Market ran Saturdays, June through September, 8 a.m. to noon, in the Village Hall parking lot at Route 30 and Municipal Drive. Its Facebook page currently lists the market as closed, with an open call for volunteers to bring it back — so treat this as a market on pause rather than a sure thing until it's confirmed reopened.

Aurora's west-side market runs two schedules: Wednesdays 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. from July through early September, and Saturdays 8 a.m. to noon, at Galena Boulevard. Produce, handmade goods, and baked treats make up most of the vendor mix, with some organic growers in the rotation. It's the third leg of the city's three-site farmers market program, alongside the downtown and east-side locations.

Aurora

This is Illinois' oldest continuously operating farmers market — 115 seasons and counting as of 2026 — running Saturday mornings from June through October at 233 N. Broadway in downtown Aurora. Beyond the produce and baked goods, look for Dick's Mini Donuts, coffee vendors, and rotating food trucks. It's one of three Aurora Farmers Market locations the city runs; this is the original downtown site.

Batavia

Oswego

Styled after an open-air French market, this Geneva staple runs Sundays, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. (1 p.m. in November), from April through mid-November near the Metra station at South and 4th streets. Vendors sell produce, baked goods, flowers, plants, textiles, and local retail goods.

Community Winter Market is Geneva's cold-weather answer to its summer farmers market, moving indoors on North Fifth Street when outdoor stalls aren't practical.

It sets up at First Congregational Church, 327 Hamilton St., the first and third Sunday of the month from November through April, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Vendors bring local meats, eggs, honey, jams, baked goods, teas and coffee, and organic produce grown within driving distance of Geneva.

Vendors sell certified organic and natural produce, meat, dairy, flowers, honey, and nursery stock, plus baked goods and crafts from the surrounding area. It's a full-morning market rather than a quick stop — early enough for commuters, long enough for a Friday grocery run.

S. Bridge St. at S. Main St. Yorkville

Yorkville's market sets up at the Town Square, Bridge and Main Streets, with vendors selling farm-grown vegetables, fresh-roasted coffee, honey, organic eggs, meats, cheeses, and handmade soaps.

It's part of the same city-operated market network — same produce, baked goods, and artisan vendor pool as the Broadway location, just closer to Aurora's east-side neighborhoods for shoppers who'd rather skip the drive downtown.

Village Hall, at (847) 304-3400, is the reliable point of contact for current listings.
