Chicago Region Farmers Market Schedule, September 6-12

As We Mosey Into the Transition Between Peak Summer and Fall Crops

Photo by Bob Benenson

SOAR Farmers Market in downtown Chicago's Streeterville neighborhood was bustling this past Tuesday (September 3). As you can see from the photo, the weather was still quite comfortable for summer wear. But with the autumnal equinox just a couple of weeks away, the clock is running on the glories of the peak summer season.

I kind of love these transitional seasons but this is a reminder that if you want your share of summer's bounty, don't miss out. Here's the regional farmers market schedule for the next week to help.
