There’s something grounding about visiting Chicago’s neighborhood farmers markets before they close for the season. The last of the fall produce always reminds me how much flavor comes from cooking with what’s right in front of you.

Local markets really do capture the last honest flavors before winter sets in.
Late-season markets keep the best of what we still have. Root vegetables, the last tomatoes. Simple cooking like that always feels right.
Fall produce hits different when it's fresh from the market - that last bit of season always makes the best soups.
Seasonal local produce really does connect people to both flavor and community health.
Local markets this time of year always have the best last-run tomatoes and squash.
That last push of fall produce always makes the best soups and roasts. Nothing beats cooking with what's actually in season.
