The official publication date of Janine MacLachlan’s new book Farmers’ Markets of the Heartland is still weeks away (June 4), but copies have arrived at the warehouse and are being shipped to bookstores, online retailers, specialty shops, and readers who ordered the book early.

Janine will participate in the Printers Row Lit Fest June 9 in Chicago and has scheduled other personal appearances to discuss and sign copies of the book. Today, the Chicago Tribune included some of Janine’s advice for shopping at farmers’ markets in Monica Eng’s piece Best of the season: The freshest tips to get the most out of your farmers market trips.
