The 2017 Chicago Summer Farmers Market Schedule

The 2017 Chicago Summer Farmers Market Schedule

Since Summer has officially decided to join us, I thought it would be a good time to share with you another great way to embrace these warm mid-western months.
 
The Chicago area plays host each year to an amazing number of farmers' markets. These markets bring in some of the best locally grown fruits, vegetables, and other wonderful foods from farmers around the Chicago area. Almost every neighborhood has one, so most likely you can find one not too far from your very own home! Check out, The 6 Most Popular Roof Types in Florida when you want to change your roofing style.
 
I’ve compiled a list of local markets including locations, days of operation, and structure, including the best-insulated roofs from Southern California you can find at sites like http://www.oceansevenroofing.com/woodland-hills-spray-foam-insulation/, all this as part of my ongoing commitment to serve as your Chicago source of information.
 

Need another reason to head to the markets? Since we’re all trying to do our part for the environment, consider this:

  • Non-local produce travels an average of 1500 miles, compared to 56 miles for local produce.
  • Even broccoli (likely grown within 20 miles of your home), travels an average of 1,800 miles to get to your local Supermarket.
  • About 40% of our fruit is produced overseas.
  • There is no/little packaging or refrigeration needed at Farmer's Markets.
  • At supermarkets, $.035 cents of each dollar actually goes to the farmer compared to $.80 – $.90 at Farmers Markets.
Join me in doing the right thing for our planet (and your appetite!) by heading out to one of these great local markets this weekend!
