The 17th season of the annual Northbrook Farmers Market closed on Wednesday, Oct. 8 with a busy turnout under partly sunny skies amid crisp cooler autumn temperatures in downtown Northbrook at the corner of Cherry Lane and Meadow Road.

The Northbrook Farmers Market is operated by the Northbrook Farmers Market Association (NFMA), an all-volunteer, tax-exempt charitable organization.

“I think this was a banner year because having come here for 17 years, the attendance blew away prior years,” said longtime Northbrook Farmers Market customer Deni Kaplan of Northbrook.

“Wednesdays are my favorite day of the week because I come to the farmers market,” Kaplan said with a smile.

At least 25,000 people attended the market season on Wednesdays since the market launched this summer on June 18.
