CHICAGOLAND’s OWN Farmers market directory & STORYBOOK
Grab A Notebook, AN Apple, There’s So Much To Learn!
The Farmers Market Reporter is the first-ever detailed, storytelling directory of farmers markets and vendors from across Chicagoland. We are a public resource, connecting communities to the people who grow, make, and sell local products.
With the Farmers Market Reporter, consumers can discover new vendors and markets, and learn more about their favorite products and where they can be located. Even better, the Farmers Market Reporter offers vendors a descriptive glimpse into new potential markets, and market managers the same for new potential vendors.
Fueled by real FMR Reporters who circulate the Chicagoland area, and who can be noticeably spotted in FMR company shirts, the Farmers Market Reporter is a highly active organization. Almost every interview starts as in-person and with a picture, where written and recorded findings become immediately available to the public on the directory pages.
IN A MATTER OF CLICKS!
Use the filter options on the directory pages to concentrate nearby markets or vendors to your personal specifications.
Maybe you have free time on Tuesday morning, and are looking for an organic tea, filter it!
Or perhaps you saw a baker at the Sunday market but cannot remember the name, filter it!
Maybe you need a natural gluten-free birthday cake for next weekend, filter it!
Learn stories, and browse vendors and their products on their linked websites and pages. Directions on how to filter markets and vendors are visible on the Directory pages.
