Chicago's Downtown Farmstand

Chicago’s Downtown Farmstand, located at 66 East Randolph Street, opened in October 2008. The Farmstand’s promise – local, delicious, and edible – is fulfilled by hundreds of products, all from within 250 miles of Chicago.

Local doesn’t just mean locally grown – in addition to sustainably grown fresh fruits, vegetables and herbs in season (including many organic items), Chicago’s Downtown Farmstand features a broad selection of edibles produced throughout the region. Each day, a wide range of dairy products, condiments, seasonings, preserves, breakfast favorites, baked goods, and other items arrive at our location. Click here to see what you might find.

Many Farmstand items help support local causes in the area. Click here to learn more about these and other special initiatives. In addition to selling individual items, the Farmstand serves as a downtown hub for the local food experience. Lunchtime programs on Wednesdays and Fridays feature cooking demonstrations of easy-to-make recipes using what is newest and freshest that day, or tastings of specialties from local food artisans.

Order Your Free Range Organic Turkeys Today!

This November, Chicago's Downtown Farmstand is proud to be offering a limited opportunity to enjoy an organic, locally raised free range turkey over the Thanksgiving holiday! These birds will come to us "just frozen" and will be available to pick up by advance reservation only beginning Wednesday, November 18. Our birds come to us through Genesis Growers, who are working with their neighboring farmer, Irene Seals at B. & S. R.R. Youth Center Farm, located in St. Anne, Illinois. These turkeys are USDA inspected and processed at Illinois Meat Processing in Arthur, Illinois. The price for a 13-15 pound bird is $65. For more information or to order, please contact us at 312.742.8419. The flavor of these birds is richer, meatier and leaner than a typical turkey - quite different than what you would get at the supermarket.
