SPECIAL EVENT: Join Us for a Chef-Led Green City Market Tour on August 13

Meet James Beard Award Winners Jason Hammel and Sarah Stegner

I'm confident that nearly all Local Food Forum readers are familiar with Chicago's Green City Market, a trailblazer in Chicago's farmers market community since 1999. Many of you have visited there, and some, I'm sure, are regulars.

But have you ever taken an insider's tour of the market led by two James Beard Award winning chefs who are local farm-to-table pioneers? Well, now you can!

Next Wednesday (August 13) at 9 a.m., join us at Green City's flagship Lincoln Park location (1817 N. Clark) for a walkabout led by Chefs Jason Hammel (Lula Cafe) and Sarah Stegner (Prairie Grass Cafe). The event is a partnership of Local Food Forum; Naturally Chicago, the association for the region's natural products brands; and Green City Market.

All proceeds from the event will be donated to Green City Market to help advance its programs to increase access to delicious, healthy local food for people enduring food insecurity. And, of course, we urge you to do some shopping while you're there and support our local farmers!
