Our 1st Outdoor Market Schedule of 2024
May is just around the corner... so is our April 29 farmers market webinar
April Showers Bring May… Asparagus?
I looked at the calendar last night and it dawned on me that May — and the first big cluster of farmers market openings of 2024 — is almost here.
Time to dust off the Chicago region farmers market schedule, which will get us to Sunday, May 5. Much more to come, of course.
Take a look and keep scrolling, because registration is upon for the next Local Food Forum’s “Better” Dialogues webinar, on Monday, April 29. And the subject is… did you guess it?… the kickoff to the outdoor farmers market season.
