As spring arrives in Chicago, farmers markets thrive, showcasing the efforts of local farmers and artisan food makers. The seasonal nature of these markets educates city residents about the variety of produce available throughout the year. From spring ramps and chive blossoms to summer's heirloom tomatoes and fall's figs, market offerings reflect the local harvest. Chefs and home cooks alike value this quality, often preferring farmers market goods despite the higher prices. Efforts are underway to enhance accessibility, including SNAP acceptance and delivery services to accommodate a wider audience.
The farmers market is a visual education for urbanites into what the seasons look like and the food each season yields.
Quality comes at a higher price than convenience, but farmers markets are also working on making themselves more accessible and convenient.
