Non-GMO Farms near Chicago: the questions people ask

What does "non-GMO" mean on this page?

It means the farm says so about itself. Farms that state they use non-GMO seed or feed. We record the wording and the page we read it on, and we never certify a farm ourselves or infer one practice from another.

When does the season start and end for farms in Chicago in 2026?

4 of the 19 non-GMO farms we list in Chicago publish their own dates, so here is what they say rather than a general rule. A&P Food Store in Chicago: The directory lists the CSA season as September to November. Faith Farms & Orchard in Gary: The directory lists the CSA season as June to September.

Do I need to book ahead or buy tickets in advance in Chicago?

5 of the 19 sell tickets online or ask you to book, and the rest take you at the gate as far as they say publicly. Eden Place Farms in Chicago: sells tickets or bookings through its own site Chicago Indoor Garden in Chicago: sells tickets or bookings through its own site

Which non-GMO farms in Chicago are cash only?

None of the 19 say they are cash only. 4 say they take cards or an app. The rest do not publish how they take payment, so we do not say either way. Every listing here links to the page we read it on and the date we checked.
