The farmers market season has arrived, bringing fresh produce, handmade goods, and more back to local town squares and parks.
While we put together a thorough guide to farmers’ markets in the Chicago area, the suburbs (and there are a lot of them) also offer opportunities to shop local and support regional growers and vendors.
