Winter market
Friday, November 14, 2008 -- 3:02 p.m.
I headed over the the Green City Market's winter market (now located at the Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum) on Wednesday to check out what produce is still available, despite the frigid temps.
The answer: Lots!
I saw everything from peppers and lettuce to a few remaining tomatoes--in addition to the typical fall fare of apples, squash, potatoes and beets. And, I was happy to find crepes still available--I had never actually had one until this trip. So yummy!
Plus, cheeses, meats and various preserved items were out in full force.
Sadly, my kitchen didn't need much stocking, but I did leave with some lovely Honeycrisp apples from Seedling, based in South Haven, Michigan. I got 6 HUGE apples for $6. A great deal, considering they're $2-something a pound at grocery stores--and they're freshly picked!

Posted by: Peter | Nov 14, 2008 5:04:20 PMI live in Hyde Park these days, and I've been loving the 61st Street Farmers Market every Saturday. This is their first year, and their first winter market as well, and I think it's going smashingly. I haven't checked out Green City Market yet, but I hope to! I've also heard about the Botanic Garden's winter markets, which I hope to go to soon. I have lots more about Chicago food and farming over at my site, www.sustainablefarmer.com/mitra ...ps i love your blog!
