2025 Guide to Local Farmers Markets

Skokie, Niles, Park Ridge, Far NW Chicago and More

By Debra Flanagan, Publisher and Hannah Chae, Jr. Reporter April 30, 2025

Welcome to your 2025 Farmers Market Guide! Please make sure to visit the market's website for the most up to date information before heading out.

Farmers Markets are a great place to get local produce, spend some time outdoors, and shop local. Many have musical entertainment, interactive demonstrations, and kid activities. More than a market, they are an event. There are a bunch of options in the area and on different days of the week--not just weekends. So go ahead and check them out.
