Life is Just a Bowl of These
In-season news from Daley Plaza, and this weekend's market schedule
Highlight in Red
My visit Thursday morning to the Daley Plaza City Market in the Loop brought good news for lovers of our seasonal fruits. Stover’s Farm Market (Berrien Springs, Michigan) had the first cherries I’ve seen this year (and of course, a pint came home with me).
I also bought my first broccoli and sugar snap peas of the year, from Nichols Farm and Orchard (Marengo, Illinois).
The mandatory photo of the landmark Picasso sculpture looming over the market.
And my market haul: asparagus and storage gala apples from B&S Farms (Berrien Springs, Michigan); German rye from Artisan Bread Company (Chicago); cherries and strawberries from Stover’s; and English peas, snow peas and broccoli from Nichols.
This Weekend’s Farmers Market Schedule
So many places to buy delicious food, produced locally and sustainably, at our region’s farmers markets this weekend. And every dollar you spend with local producers helps build a stronger local economy.
