We love our fresh, locally-sourced veggies, and the relationships fostered within the community. But winter’s here, and gone are those lovely summer morning trips to your favorite farmers market.
But wait, there’s a way to still enjoy produce you love from your local farmers.
Here are three indoor markets open for the season!
Green City Market

As Chicago’s largest and first year-round market, Green City offers an indoor alternative on Saturdays through April. The well-known market prides itself in supporting family farms and establishing great connections between consumers and their local farmers. They advocate for a healthier society, hosting educational programs beneficial for all.
Saturdays, November – April | 8 am – 1 pm
