I took this information from the May 12th Chicago Sun-Times article "2010 Farmers Market Guide". I figure that it will be useful in the months ahead to allow us to know what to expect from our local farmers market and also to plan meals at The Mansfield. If we can eat seasonally from local producers then we are one step closer to achieving our aim.
