Cooking with Your Farmer - Sweet Lou

posted on

February 2, 2024

If you have visited our booth at the La Grange, Elmhurst, or Wilmette farmers markets - you know her well.  Lou Ann is the 6th generation farmer, and 1st generation to trek miles from the farm to sell meat that she produces.  

I grew up on her cooking, and never ate a meal I did not enjoy. She earned the endearing name Sweet Lou from one of the best frequent flyers of the market.  So here’s Sweet Lou, working her magic in the kitchen making her finest chili.  She uses simple ingredients, great meat, and plenty of love.

We just didn’t realize what they were leading toward.
