“Green City Market, Chicago
The Spread: Between May and October, the south end of Lincoln Park comes alive with sustainably minded farmers and producers every Wednesday and Saturday (the market moves indoors to the Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum during the winter). The 55 stalls—stocked year-round with everything from organic micro-greens to artisanal cheeses like butterkase—draw many of Chicago’s best chefs.
No less than Alice Waters—the high priestess of America’s local culinary movement—has called Green City “the best sustainable market in the country. Most Unusual Find: Grass-fed, hormone-free elk meat (sold as steaks, roasts, burger patties, and bratwurst-style sausages) from Hawks Hill Elk Ranch in Monticello, WI.”
This is why we LOVE Green City Market. The major chefs in the city of Chicago support the market and put on cooking demonstrations every week.
