Farms Open Today Near Chicago

85 farms near Chicago have published a season that has not finished yet. On the day this page was last built, 21 of them published opening hours that covered that day and 76 were inside their published season. 3 say admission is free.

✓ 85 farms verified · rechecked in your browser every time this page opens · how we verify

Worked out from the season dates and opening days the farms published themselves, never from anything we guessed or averaged. A farm reaches "open today" only where it published both a season that covers today and the weekday it opens. Farms that publish one but not the other are shown and labelled, and farms that publish neither are still listed on their state and city pages, they just cannot be filtered by time. The answer is worked out fresh in your browser every time this page is opened, so it stays right as the season runs down. Always check the farm's own page before you drive.

Open when:

Worked out from the season dates and opening days the farms published themselves, checked against today's date in your browser. A farm only appears under "open today" where it published both. Farms that publish neither are still listed, they just cannot be filtered this way. Always worth a look at the farm's own page before you drive.

Good to know:

These come from the farms' own pages, the answers they publish because people ring up and ask. A farm that does not publish an answer is still listed, it just cannot be filtered on that one.
