Aurora Farmers Market offers sense of community: ‘Here, I pretty much know everybody’

Customers check out items for sale at the Romanian Sweet and Savory Corner booth at the Aurora Farmers Market on Saturday. The promise of summer always brings a sense of anticipation, and for Aurora resident Rick Starke that includes the opening of the Aurora Farmers Market for the season.

The market will run from 8 a.m. until noon every Saturday through Oct. 5 and include about 40 to 45 vendors weekly. “We like that there will be a service as well as an education piece to the garden beds as well,” she said. Ralph Lopez of Michigan-based Lopez Farms is back this season and remains one of the anchor vendors at the market.

“Five minutes ago we just said to each other ‘Let’s see what new here this year,’” Corey Ingram said. “We always check it out.”
