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.
