Green City Market, Chicago, Illinois

Founded in 1998 by Abby Mandel, Green City Market originated from her inspiration by sustainable European farmers’ markets.

Starting with just nine local farmers, the market rapidly expanded into a thriving community hub for fresh and sustainable produce.

Located in Lincoln Park, Chicago, the market operates between May and October, offering vibrant markets on Wednesdays and Saturdays.

Green City Market’s commitment to sustainability extends to the colder months, with limited Saturday markets at the Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum from November to April.
