Farmer's Market Guide for South and Western Suburbs

Every year I misplace the newspaper pullout section and miss out on the nearby Farmers' Markets.  This year I'm sharing the information here so I can easily locate it.  And just so you know, the Farmer's Market is not just a place to buy fresh fruits and veggies.  Last summer I got a really cool zebra print purse for $29.  I got compliments everywhere I went.  You're not going to get that from an ear of corn!

This is always my favorite time of year - when the farmer's markets start to open and fresh fruits and vegetables are truly in abundance! And yay to all the places that now have ORGANIC produce or are completely focused on organic products. Happiness :)
