The Solution Market has been a long time coming, Tamayo-Calabrese said.

“Even though the public is seeing it come out this year, we’ve been looking for, researching, analyzing and understanding — basically … on the ramp, if you will — the farmers market for probably three years now.” she said .

In addition to the new weekly market, Naperville is also host to the Naperville Farmers Market, which opened for its 36th season on June 1.
