Naperville's farmers markets getting ready for a new season with new vendors, features
Naperville's two farmers markets will offer shoppers plenty of choices for fresh produce, baked goods, coffee, flowers, condiments, dog treats and much more this summer. The Naperville Farmer's Market kicks off June 7 and is open every Saturday between 7 a.m. and noon through Oct. 25 at the 5th Avenue Train Station. Naper Settlement Farmers Market runs from 3 to 7 p.m. Tuesdays from July 1 to Sept. 23 on the history museum campus at 523 S. Webster St. Both offer dozens of vendors selling a wide variety of products. While it will be too early for shoppers to find peppers, tomatoes, corn, berries and other produce right away at the Naperville Farmer's Market — those items are typically available in July — there are plenty of other food items available for purchase, market manager Annamarie Bensfield said. And those familiar with the market will notice they've added eight to 10 new vendors this year selling things like jarred guacamole, fresh baked goods, herbal supplements, mushrooms, teas and juices, she said. 'We're expanding the market to over 60 vendors,' Bensfield said. 'It has really grown. We have a lot of wonderful, healthy products to offer our customers. 'I think it will be a really good market. I think (people) are looking for local goods. Things that are sustainable and things that are local. Our farmers all farm within a four-hour drive and it's farm-to-table.' The market has been a Naperville fixture for more than 40 years and will feature special events, including weekly live music and face painting. 'We're going to do a Summer Fest on Aug. 2 and Fall Fest Sept. 27, and we do an annual Halloween costume parade with prizes on Oct. 25,' she said. 'The kids get all dressed up and they're just adorable.' At the Summer Fest, vendors will highlight a new product or create something new with an existing product. 'Each booth has a special item,' Bensfield said. 'I think what's really important is that it serves the community,' she said. 'You could go with your neighbors. You see your friends. You sit and chat. I see whole families coming to the market. They gather around, they listen to music, they take time to visit with each other instead of … rushing through a grocery store. I think it's a great family activity.' Naper Settlement Farmers Market will return for its second year with more than 30 local vendors, live music and educational classes starting July 1, spokeswoman Nicole Hays said. 'I feel like last year went really well. I feel like the first year was a huge success,' she said. Market-goers told organizers they wanted more produce options so they've added Creek Side Market Garden, another large produce vendor, Hays said. The other produce vendor is Piscasaw Gardens, which is returning for a second year, she said. Produce needs to be grown locally and by the seller — nothing is imported, Hays said. 'In June, some farmers markets will have corn already. Corn doesn't grow here in June,' she said. 'Conveying that message to people is really important because they get frustrated. But when they learn why, it's like, 'Oh, that makes sense.' We have corn in August and that's fine.' Attendees also asked for more vendors this year, Hays said. 'We already have about 10 more than we did last year, which is good,' she said. 'We wanted to keep it modest last year since it was our first year. Now it's time to expand.' Among the vendors shoppers will see this year is a woodmaker who specializes in spoons, a cannoli maker, an empanada maker, a skin care vendor, pet cookie company and a peanut butter vendor. There will be booths selling honey, flowers, hot sauces, coffee and baked goods. Food trucks onsite include Billy Bricks, Umbrella Azul and Hello Boba. The Weed Ladies of the Naperville Heritage Society will sell their handmade dried and silk floral arrangements in the Daniels House in July and August. Adding to the atmosphere will be live bluegrass and acoustic music from local and regional artists between 4 and 7 p.m. and a splash pad for kids, Hays said As they did last year, there will be weekly agriculture-based educational classes offered for free from 5 to 6 p.m. 'We have our lectures every week and we partner with local nonprofits to talk about agriculture or farmers market-related things,' she said. Guests will learn about such topics as water bath canning, use and storage of herbs, breadmaking, raising backyard chickens, and making soaps and lip balms. 'The entire museum is open with free admission, which is great,' she said. 'I think a lot of people will be able to visit the museum that normally wouldn't.'When: 7 a.m.-noon Saturdays, June 7-Oct. 25 Where: 5th Avenue Train Station, 200 E. 5th Ave. Information: When: 3-7 p.m. Tuesdays, July 1-Sept. 23 Where: Naper Settlement, 523 S.

Young woman from Gwynedd lands senior manager role
Ellie Granton, 29, from Y Felinheli, is a senior manager at Hays, leading a team of consultants across the north west of England. She attributes her career success to the foundation she received at Coleg Menai. Ellie's career began when she studied Level 3 Business at Coleg Menai in Bangor from 2012 to 2014. Since then, she has gained a Masters in Human Resource Management, joined Hays as a graduate consultant, and has been promoted five times in just a few years to her current role. Ellie said of her time in college: "My favourite thing about the course was the variation of modules and all the different assignment topics. "The way of teaching at college was different from school, as you were allowed more autonomy. "Also, it gave me the opportunity to meet a whole new group of people who I'd never met had it not been for the course." Ellie added: "One semester we had the opportunity to go to Brussels for a few days and visit the European Parliament. "It was such an amazing time, and it was one of my first times being in a country that isn't first-language English, without my family, so it definitely developed my confidence and ability to navigate situations and scenarios on my own. "It's times like this that are the foundation for later on in life, like moving to uni and solo travelling." Ellie said her time at Coleg Menai gave her the perfect grounding to move on to university, adding: "The BTEC business course definitely helped me in uni. "Firstly, from the UCAS points and also giving me a good understanding of the subject area and what the core modules would be. "Going to college felt like the right next step - moving out of school but still supporting my education and future career. "I'd highly recommend this course and Coleg Menai."

Could Reds Outfielder Be Solution For Padres' 'Trade Market' Search?
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The San Diego Padres are searching for a new left fielder to help push them toward a National League West division title. Jason Heyward was placed on the injured list on Saturday with an oblique strain, so now the Padres are rolling with a committee of several players in left field in his his absence. As a result, the Padres now know they have a gap in the roster that needs to be addressed. General manager AJ Preller is reportedly working to make a deal, and Austin Hays from the Cincinnati Reds could be a target for him. CINCINNATI, OHIO - MAY 25: Austin Hays #12 of the Cincinnati Reds hits a triple in the fifth inning against the Chicago Cubs at Great American Ball Park on May 25, 2025 in Cincinnati, Ohio.... CINCINNATI, OHIO - MAY 25: Austin Hays #12 of the Cincinnati Reds hits a triple in the fifth inning against the Chicago Cubs at Great American Ball Park on May 25, 2025 in Cincinnati, Ohio. More"The Padres have begun exploring the trade market for a left fielder," wrote Kevin Acee for the The San Diego Union-Tribune. Hays has gotten off to an incredible start, as he's posting a slash line of .321/.361/.589 through his first 112 at-bats. The 29-year-old outfielder has been a spark for the Reds as they try to stay alive in the National League Central and wild card race. With the Padres needing an outfielder and the Reds hanging on for dear life, Preller could get aggressive and look to pry Hays away from Cincinnati sooner rather than later. If the Reds slide anymore, it's a move they should make as Hays' value likely won't get any higher. Hays is on a very team-friendly deal right now, making just $4 million for the Reds. The Padres would be on the hook for the remainder of that, plus a potential $12 million option next year. Unless Hays continues to hit over .300, that option is almost a guarantee to be bought out for $1 million. Hays would be a strong option for the Padres to pursue, especially if Heyward's oblique strain lingers longer than originally expected.
