Your friendly neighborhood Patch editors will be meeting folks, serving cider and giving out shwag at festivals happening in Glenview and Deerfield this Saturday.
Autumn Festivals are fundamentally different from all other festivals — they're apple flavored and dressed in flannel. Looking for something to do with the family this weekend? Stop by one of the upcoming fall events and revel in the North Shore's autumnal glory. Weather permitting, editors from Glenview will be serving free apple cider at the Wagner Farm event, and rumor has it the Deerfield editor may or may not be teaching folks at Harvest Fest secret North Shore handshakes.

A lot of talk in Deerfield lately surrounds all the closing businesses, school board issues and what's not working in Deerfield. Time to celebrate what is working-the deerfield Farmers Market.
Saturdays so far this summer have been crazy. Softball tournaments, swim meets, baseball games—crazy. But if I had known what I was missing I would have found the time to head to the Deerfield Farmers’ Market before July 21. It was quite the open market experience. Having attended the Deerfield Farmers’ Market in past years, there have always been the expected fruits, vegetables, flowers and a few baked goods with an interesting vendor or two. But this year offers truly a vast array of options that was surprising, exciting and has me planning my purchases for next week already! Now, our farmers market is not organic or French or any of those other "fancy" markets that are offered in neighboring towns. But, the Deerfield Farmers’ Market has…

Saturday event thriving in 17th season; features vegetables called Patty Pans and popcorn that won't stick in your teeth.
Since 1995, the Deerfield Farmers Market has been serving local residents with the freshest fruits and vegetables from around the area and this season is no exception.
