mission of the Green City Market this Sunday, Sept. 27 at 2 p.m. at The

Richter will discuss the contribution the Green City Market and its
vendors make to ensure Chicagoans access to local, sustainable food. Tickets
are $15 for the general public and free for students that register online using
their school email. Make your reservation today at http://www.stevensoncenterondemocracy.org/events.html Copies of the Green City Market Cookbook will be available

The Green City Market was founded with a
plan to provide a marketplace for
purchasing
sustainably grown food that educates, promotes, and connects farmers
and local producers directly to chefs, restaurateurs and the greater Chicago
community. In 2014 they launched the Green City Market Cookbook which
includes more than 90 seasonal recipes from the local Chicago community of
customers, volunteers, farmers and Chicago Chefs.
Chicago’s Green City Market has been
named one of America’s Top 10 Farmer’s Markets by USA Today. It has come a long
way since its humble beginnings 1998. The Market started as a handful of
vendors in an alley next to the Chicago Theater and has since grown into the
best and biggest farmers market in Chicago with more than 60 vendors and
175,000 visitors per year.
