Thanks to the Local Beet and Becca at Live Here Oak Park for cluing me in that there’s a winter farmers market tomorrow at the beautiful Unity Temple.
I just passed by there tonight and admired Frank Lloyd Wright’s handiwork. It’ll be a treat to see the interior. I’m not sure I’ve ever been inside, which is kind of amazing when I think of how many times I’ve passed by enjoying the exterior detailing.
The market – sponsored by Faith In Place – is Saturday, Jan. 15, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., 875 Lake Street, Oak Park.
If you’re wondering what you can possibly get that’s local and fresh in winter, the Local Beet notes that there should be greenhouse veggies such as lettuce, spinach and other greens, plus mushrooms, cucumbers and herbs. From the root veggie stocks there may be beets, carrots and other root cellar items such as onions, potatoes, apples and squash.
Faith In Place advertises that at it’s “movable feast” there will be local meat, eggs, produce, salsas, sauces and mushrooms for sure.
Sounds like it’s worth a visit to see what’s available.
