On The Go Chicago

I love going to the Farmers Market with my girls.  Last weekend we took our first trip of the season to The Green City Market in Lincoln Park.  We did a bit of shopping, bought some berries and a smoothies, and then enjoyed the live music.  It is the perfect way to spend a Saturday morning in Chicago, and en excellent way to shop local!

This year I plan to branch out and try a few of the other neighborhood markets including the one at Wicker Park.  I would love to hear which ones are you favorites.

Following is a list of some of the other great farmers markets here in the city and their summer schedules. Most have started, but a few don’t start until June. For a complete list, visit www.chicagofarmersmarkets.us.
