News & Views:  Princeton (Market Report) 


Here we will provide a list of what we plan to sell on the next market day at the Bureau County Farmer’s Market in Princeton. This is typically reported in the afternoon or evening before market day.
We may occasionally post some other information about the market here too.



With freezing weather this weekend, this will probably be the end of the red raspberries for the season. We will have good quantities at the Princeton and Peoria farmers’ markets. We also will bring lots of pumpkins, acorn and butternut squash, as well as chestnuts and black walnuts and our own whole wheat flour. We also will have some grapes and watermelon. In Princeton we will also have Plow Creek Bakery goods. We don’t know if there will be raspberries to pick on Saturday; it depends on how cold it gets.

This Saturday the Bureau County Farmers’ Market will be in the lot south of the Princeton Amtrak station, just west of Darius Miller Park, where we usually are. We expect the roads on the north and south side of the park to be closed. You can get to the market on Pleasant Street, which parallels Main Street one block to the west. We recommend you come early to avoid the congestion due to the Princeton Homestead Festival in the afternoon. It was hard getting shoved around to make room for a beer advertisement. Please support your local Farmers’ Market and find your way to us.
