Ralph Lopez, right, owner of Lopez Farms from Michigan, sells produce last October on the final day of the season for the Aurora Farmers Market. Lopez Farms is set to return to the Aurora Farmers Market, which will open for the season on June 1. The Aurora Farmers Market will open for the season a little earlier this year, officials said.
Market manager Felicia Freitag, who helped with the market last season and now takes over for her first full year in charge, promised there will be a large group of merchants participating and that she is hoping to put her own stamp on the popular weekend shopping and meeting place. “Each week, there will be 35 to 45 vendors, but over the course of the season we’ll be working with somewhere around 80 vendors total,” Freitag said.
“I have a few special event days throughout the season,” Freitag promised. “The petting zoo will be here Aug. 10 for National Farmers Market Week, and also for our fall celebration when the petting zoo will return on Oct. 5.”
