A Sure Sign It's Spring: Farmer's Markets are Back!

Fresh, unhusked corn, bouquets of sunflowers, brownies baked by hand and individually wrapped...

These are a few of my favorite things from my own local farmer's market. At last -- after the longest, worstest winter in the history of weather -- Chicago's outdoor farmer's markets are coming back. Grab your recyclable shopping bag and go support some of our local growers!
