Use Our Tracker to Find Chicago Region Farmers Markets Close to You

Get Delicious, Healthy, Locally Produced Food and Support Our Farmers

In the early stages of the Chicago region's outdoor market season, Local Food Forum accompanied the weekly updates of our Farmers Market Tracker with a little storytelling about the market scene.

But as the number of open farmer markets greatly expands toward the region's peak growing season, our farmers market visits increasingly require separate articles. So, starting with this issue, the Market Tracker becomes a stand-alone item, clearly labeled in the headline and pinned to the website's homepage.

This, in turn, enables readers to dive right into the Tracker without wading through excess verbiage. We hope the change works well for you.
