"Green City Market is the only year round farmers market in Chicago. It focuses on sustainable agriculture practices and locally sourced ingredients. In the winter months, it is held at the Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum, and in the summer just outside of the Lincoln Park Zoo. Not only are you able to shop some of the finest crops the midwest has to offer, but also mingle with a generous and caring community of farmers and growers." - Stephen Merlo
"This Chicago farmers market announced it will be selling ramps for the weekend and urged shoppers to come early because supply tends to sell out quickly; organizers even suggested using ramps to infuse soy sauce. The market highlights working with growers who use sustainable foraging practices—trimming above the root so ramps can regrow—because ramps are slow-growing and largely foraged rather than farmed. The notice arrives amid the annual spring ramp rush through mid‑May and reflects the local pricing context, where markets typically charge reasonable, market-rate prices (about $5 a bunch in 2024) while some grocers have marked ramps up far higher." - Ashok Selvam

"Located in Lincoln Park, Green City Market is where Leigh Omilinsky spent recent Wednesdays and Fridays selling pastries, though she noted the Dill-Co croissant itself would not be offered at the farmers market." - Ashok Selvam
"Operated by a respected group that links regional farmers with chefs and diners and runs a charity program that has raised substantial funds, this market will begin its season on Saturday, May 4. The organization reported strong engagement in 2023 (about 445,000 visitors across its markets) and leverages that reach to support local agriculture and culinary-focused philanthropy." - Ashok Selvam
