Woodlawn beats out Lincoln Park

Care2/Local Harvest just announced the results of their “Love Your Farmers Market” contest, where fans voted online for their favorite markets from June 19 to September 17, and the results are a bit surprising. Woodlawn’s own 61st Street Farmers Market, begun only 16 months ago in a vacant lot across from the Experimental Station, came in 66th place, higher than any other Chicago market, beating out 10-year-old, year-round powerhouse Green City Market (#76) up in Lincoln Park. No other markets in the city limits placed within the top 100, although the northern and western suburbs had a good showing with Woodstock at #41, Grayslake at #55, Brookfield at #57, Libertyville at #87, Crystal Lake at #92, and Gurnee at #93.
