Chillin': Layers But No Parka at a Nippy Green City Saturday
Getting Every Last Ounce from Outdoor Market Seasom
Saturday's Green City Market in Chicago's Lincoln Park was the first of three November sessions before its outdoor season officially ends the Saturday before Thanksgiving (November 21). It was also the first 2026 market since at least April — and maybe the first at all — when the temperature when I left the apartment was in the mid-30s.
Chilly, yes, but I'm just not ready for the parka yet. So I put on layers: a t-shirt, a short sleeve shirt, a Michigan State hoodie (with our football win Saturday night over archrival Michigan in Ann Arbor, it's a great day to shout "Go Green!), and a fleece. Perfectly comfortable, and the parka can wait.
I'll keep this brief. Some scenes around the market, and my market haul.
Orange and rainbow carrots from Frillman Farms (Berrien Springs, Michigan); beer and scallion bratwurst and a whole chicken from Finn's Ranch (Buchanan, Michigan); apple cider from Ellis Family Farms (Benton Harbor, Michigan); sesame bagels from Dorothy's Bakery (Chicago); cremini mushrooms from River Valley Ranch (Burlington, Wisconsin); and a savory scone from Verzênay (Chicago).
