Meyer lemons

Where in Chicago can I get Meyer lemons this time of year? Is there a season for them (as if there is a season for any produce anymore :) ?

Thanks,

Randy

  1. Peak season for Meyer lemons is the end of November through February and perhaps early April. Probably too late now to find them anywhere.

    1. Yeah, probably too late now. I saw them a month ago at both Whole Foods (Canal and Roosevelt) and Treasure Island (Clybourn near Webster).

      1. re: gleam

        I was at the same Whole Foods maybe a week ago and I saw some, though they were not as nice as the ones they had a month ago.

      2. I picked up a few Meyer lemons at Market Place on Oakton @ 4817 W. Oakton, Skokie this past weekend. They refer to them as "sweet lemons," but they're Meyer lemons. I cut one up and put it in a green salad. Delicious.

        1. It might be too late but I saw them at my local Dominick's grocery store (in Northbrook). I'm sure many common grocery stores like Whole Foods, Jewel or farmer's markets had them. Good luck!
