Chicago farmers markets aren’t just a place to shop. They’re a playground. An event. (Personally, I go to the Logan Square market just to show off my outfits.) But the fun doesn’t have to stop just because it’s cold out!
Indoor farmers markets are increasingly popular in Chicago, and there are several coming up.
For you fellow Logan Squarers missing the comradery (or flirtation) of the farmers market, there’s an indoor option at 2800 N. Milwaukee Ave. every Saturday through March 28. Vendors include Sfera Sicilian Street Food and Zeitlin's Delicatessen.
The South Loop Farmers Market is every Saturday through March 28 at the Roosevelt Collection Shops and every Sunday at Water Tower Place. Similar to a summer market, it’s a place to hang (in addition to buy food) with vinyl DJs and funky clothing stands.
In Woodlawn, Experimental Station continues its indoor farmers market Feb. 14, March 14, and April 11. Offerings include produce (including lots of pears), organic vinegar, fresh meat, sorbet, pure maple syrup, and vegan treats.
In Avondale, Green City Market is occurring Jan. 24 and 31 and Feb. 7 and 14. Trying to meal prep? In-season produce there includes:
- Arugula
- Beans
- Carrots
- Fennel
- Herbs
- Lettuce and greens
- Onions
- Potatoes
- Radishes
- Chestnuts
