Below you will find a list of Chicago and Chicagoland communities offering Farmers Markets or French Markets during this summer and into early fall of 2011. Many of these Markets also offer items beyond produce and food, such as musical performances, kids activities, community services, and more.
There's great benefit to supporting these Farmers Markets and French Markets. Besides enjoying the health benefits of fresh, locally-grown produce, fruits, and vegetables ... you're also supporting the local economy and your fellow neighbors. Again, a huge win-win for all involved.
Hope you seek-out and enjoy a Farmer's Market or French Market in or near the community you live or work in soon ...
