Quoted from what each farm published. Where a farm only ticked the box in a directory, it is in the listings below without a quote.

Every USDA organic farm we list near Chicago

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.

Certified Organic Farms near Chicago: the questions people ask

What does "USDA organic" mean on this page?

It means the farm says so about itself. Farms that state they hold USDA organic certification. Certification is a real, checkable thing, so this is the firmest claim on the site. 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?

23 of the 61 USDA organic farms we list in Chicago publish their own dates, so here is what they say rather than a general rule. Growing Home Inc in Chicago: In its entry in the USDA CSA directory the farm gives a share season running June to October.

Which USDA organic farms in Chicago have hayrides?
