These Markets Make the Local Food Season Go Year-Round
Winter farmers markets in the Chicago region used to be extremely rare. But as more and more farmers are practicing season extension, the growing season is no longer confined to May to December — and there are many more options for the region's winter farmers market fans.
The following is our list of winter farmers markets in the Chicago region. If you know of any that I missed, please share the details with me at bob@localfoodforum.com.
This feature will remain posted on the Local Food Forum website homepage, with regular reminders to subscribers in the Local Food Forum newsletter.
