“Dear PoPville,

Does anyone know what’s going on with the Bloomingdale Farmer’s Market? I haven’t seen any word if they opened as they typically do in May”

The markets & more page still has only 2021 listed and their social media for Bloomingdale hasn’t been updated either. Anyone know what’s up?

Update: OP says they now hear opening should be this Sunday!
