Tuesday Is the Most Sustainable Day to Shop a Farmers Market
Fewer cars. Less waste. More direct relationships between farmers and eaters.
“When you buy produce at a Tuesday farmers market, you're buying food that was almost certainly harvested within 48 hours and traveled fewer miles than anything on a supermarket shelf.”
A farmer near Chicago, Illinois may have harvested something yesterday — and today it could be on a table at a Tuesday market a few miles from home. That's the shortest food chain most shoppers will ever encounter.
There's a conversation happening in food sustainability circles about 'food miles' — the distance your food travels from farm to fork. The average piece of American supermarket produce travels 1,500 miles before you eat it. It's refrigerated, gassed, waxed, and warehoused. By the time it reaches you, it's nutritionally depleted compared to what it looked like on the plant.
In Chicago, Illinois, our records show 4 confirmed Tuesday farmers markets, including Low-Line Market at Southport, Home Grown Cow - Chicago, and The Farmer at the Green. 3 of them accept SNAP/EBT benefits. Details on each — hours, address, and what's typically for sale — are listed below.
