Edible Chicago

#ICYMI: Have you checked out the latest edition of Edible Chicago?? As we continue to celebrate our 25th anniversary, Green City Market is proud to be featured alongside spotlights of our vendors — the cornerstone of our local food system right here in Chicago. You'll also find some seasonal recipes from Chicago's top chefs and frequent GCM shoppers (still trying to figure out what to do with those two lbs of beets — there's a recipe for that!) as well as a touching tribute to GCM and its nonprofit mission, written by Edible Chicago's Publisher and Editor-in-Chief Megan Marshall. "Over the past 25 years, GCM has grown from its modest beginnings into a vibrant hub of activity, drawing customers from across the city and beyond. It’s a place where chefs, farmers, families, and food enthusiasts come together to celebrate the bounty of the Midwest. But GCM is more than just a market — it’s a nonprofit organization that supports sustainable agriculture, expands food access, and fosters a resilient, more equitable food system."

🍂 Fall is here, and so is the latest issue of Edible Chicago! 🍂 As we near the end of the 25th anniversary season of Chicago's Green City Market, this issue is particularly special.

We highlight a handful of the vendors that keep the market buzzing, pun extremely intended thanks to Kikwetu Coffee Company, amongst others.

Our Chief Dreamer sat down with Sara & Dario of 77 flavors for Edible Chicago to speak on the meaning behind “Dion’s Chicago Dreams” click the link in our bio and check it out ‼️📦 “This is what I’m supposed to do in my life, I’m proud to be from Englewood, and everybody that knows me knows that. I just remember what it feels like to not have any cameras when we were doing [this], to not have the team members that we could pay, to not have the vehicles that we own and to remember what it’s about. It’s really about our residents, our recipients, everybody who has had a moment, before or after of just not knowing where that next healthy option will come from and knowing that we’re out there. Always.” #Chicago #HealthEquity #FoodSecurity #Smile #Fun #Memories #Team #DreamTeam #newgoals #blessing #dreamers #deliveryteam #produce #fresh #buildteam #dreambox #ediblechicago #article
