Green City Market is Chicago’s only year-round farmers’ market promoting local, sustainable farmers, producers and chefs by connecting them to the public through educational programming and special events. The market regularly features events that include cooking demonstrations by renowned local chefs; children's educational programs like "Club Sprouts" and Edible Gardens in the Lincoln Park Zoo's Farm-in-the-Zoo; Savor the Seasons Taste Education Series; The Locavore Challenge; and farmer education workshops among others.
Green City Market also offers scholarships to encourage farmers to attend conferences and workshops, as well as a Farm Forager partnership with the City of Chicago, which works to bring more high quality, locally produced foods to the city. Green City Market’s incredible momentum comes from its many supporters including conscientious and caring consumers, chefs, restaurateurs and other culinary professionals.
It also reflects increasing local concern for a more sustainable food system that preserves the environment for future generations. Supporting local artisan farmers and producers helps address this concern and provides the basis for a regional cuisine. Experience what industry leader Alice Waters called “the best sustainable market in the country.”
Green City Market is one of many independently operated Farmers Markets in the city. For more information about Chicago's Farmers Markets, click here.
