Local Farmers' Markets
The appeal of locally sourced food is growing coast to coast, making the case that fresh, locally grown food is a healthy trend. Living in the Chicago area, we are lucky to have several farmers' markets to choose from. Whether you care about your health or the health of the planet, see here for more great reasons to support our local farmers.
A trip to the farmers' market is also a great way to stay connected to your community while getting fresh air and beautiful seasonal produce and farm fresh eggs. Take a friend or your family and make it a fun outing!
