The Rolling Regional Market Schedule Picks Up Speed
As I wrote in an accompanying article about my visit to Chicago's Green City Market today (October 16), we have had a wonderfully long peak growing season for many of our favorite regional summer crops. But for sure, we won't be publishing photos like this for much longer, as the full transition to fall crops is nigh.
My market haul including great "clearance sale" type bargains on zucchini and bell peppers, tomatoes (yes, I have plans to make a ratatouille), lettuce, green peppers, and for a hint of the months to come, a couple of Honeynut squash.
You might get lucky and find some summer holdouts if you visit a market real soon. But we've been saying au revoir to a number of markets in the first half of October, and the closings accelerate to the point that only a handful of outdoor markets will remain into November.
The weather sounds really nice for the next few days. More reason to check out one or more of these markets in the weekly schedule below.
