Farmer's Markets on the Fashionable West Side

We love fresh fruit, veg, bread, cheese, meat and seafood. We also love supporting local family businesses. What's not to love about the farmer's market? The problem is that we keep forgetting which farmer's markets are open and when, so we compiled a list to keep on hand and then thought, "Hey, we could share this!" Here's our updated cheat-sheet of what's open close to home.
