THE BUZZ: APRIL 2026
By Contributor
FARM FRESH AT YOUR DOORSTEP
Elawa Farm’s beloved Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program is back for 2026, and there’s something for everyone. Sign up for a weekly or biweekly share of peak-season produce, or go full-diet with locally sourced eggs, bread, mushrooms, fruit, and artisan grain products. Flower lovers can join one of Elawa’s two Flower CSA options: opt for lush seasonal bouquets all summer long—or snag the dreamy three-week Peony Share while it lasts. Consider it the freshest subscription you’ll add all year. elawafarm.org/csa-shares-2026
BETWEEN THE RAVINES
Two towns, one beautiful book. Lake Forest Library and Lake Bluff Public Library have teamed up for their Between the Ravines: Two Communities, One Nonfiction Book program, and this spring’s pick is Margaret Renkl’s The Comfort of Crows: A Backyard Year—a quiet, gorgeous meditation on nature, joy, and loss, with original artwork by the author’s brother on every chapter. Attend book-related events throughout April, then catch Renkl herself at Meet the Author gatherings April 24 and 25. See more details in this month’s About Town section. lakeforestlibrary.org
