Get Delicious, Healthy, Locally Produced Food and Support Our Farmers
While peak season crops of all kinds are pouring into Chicago region farmers markets, the big news over the past week is that local fruit season is full on. Last Saturday I bought my first of the season blueberries and sweet cherries; Tuesday brought plums (some of the most delicious I've ever eaten) back into my life.
There is some transitional season overlap as strawberries are having an unusually long season (more than a month). But if you're a fan, don't sleep on them — they inevitably will be done, especially with the heat temperatures predicted over the next week.
There are four new additions this coming week in Local Food Forum's Farmers Market Tracker. Scroll down and find a market convenient to you.
Peak season will be glorious... but fleeting. Make sure you get out there (often) to fill your home with delicious, healthy, sustainably produced food, and support our local farmers.
