Chicago Farmers’ Markets
Despite living in the city, Chicagoans still have the opportunity to get fresh fruits and vegetables, as well as flowers and baked goods, without shelling out a lot of money at a specialty grocery store. The Farmers’ Market season in Chicago is here! Probably the most well-known market to people working in downtown is the market in Daley Plaza. It takes place every Thursday from 7:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. and is a great place to pick up some berries for a pie or some fresh onions for cooking. This is not the only opportunity in town, however. Here is some more popular Farmers’ Markets in the city (please note the specific dates and times of each):
