Chicago has lots of awesome farmers markets. The North Lawndale Youth Green Farm runs a farmer’s market, from 7 a.m. – 10 a.m. every Wednesday outside of the Community Bank of Lawndale (1111 S. Homan Ave. in Chicago). The Farm-City Market Basket, which is at the Garfield Market Place, is open on Saturdays & Sundays (11 am – 5 pm) from May 26 till October 28.

A number of publications about healthy living can be found in Chicago, and Conscious Choice is an excellent magazine which can be found in stores around Chicago.
