Maybe because the relentless frigid temperatures and snowfall made even life long Chicagoans like me wonder if we would ever see spring (not likely), I eagerly anticipated the return of my favorite farmers market – the Green City Market. It’s a sign the midwest has managed to survive another grueling winter and it’s now time to cram as much outdoor activity as possible in two – three months.
The Green City Market is one of many farmer markets city dwellers can visit but this one takes place at the southern end of Lincoln Park. On Wednesdays and Saturdays that patch of Lincoln Park resembles a bucolic scene that brings together farmers, chefs, musicians, pets, parents and children celebrating the fruits of the harvest.
