Local Farmer's Fruits and Vegtables

For all of us Chicagolanders, a friend passed along to me a great way to receive our produce and help the local economy.  The Market Basket Program is a group of 300 local farmers who are distributing their produce via Growing Power, a national non-profit organization.  The program runs on a weekly basis and allows us to participate in a week by week enrollment.  You simply let them know on the Monday of the week if you would like the produce, and then pick it up on Friday.  There are three different options ranging from $9 - $28.  The pick up location is Ta-Ze Olives and Oils in Nordstrom building on Michigan Ave (which is one of my favorite stores).  Below is the link and happy shopping!
