Robin Schirmer, though relatively new to the local foods scene, is a self-described "farmers market groupie" and has seen lots of farmers markets from all three sides: as manager/coordinator, as market seller, and as a consumer. In the past three winter seasons, she has coordinated over 50 one-time, indoor farmers markets in church venues all over the Chicago area. For the last year, she has worked with Tomato Mountain Farm, boosting their Chicago-area farmers market presence from 6 to over 20 markets last summer, staffing them and selling at most of them at one time or another.
