Now Yelpers, listen up, do you SUFFER from Hayfever like I do??…read moreHere's a secret to save you money and make you less miserable: Buy local honey at this market (a bottle is $10--way cheaper than OTC Zertec or Claritin) and eat a tablespoon a day. Before you know it, your allergies will be gone. Why?! Because the bees roam around the city and pollinate from the same plants that give your that runny nose and those itchy eyes. Think of it as a painless immunization. The beekeeper has her beehives right behind at her Carpenter Street house. If you really get into it, you can work a deal with the caring beekeeper to purchase a huge bucket for several months. And the honey is BEE-LICIOUS! (yes, that was lame). More Good News: Gosh, what a cute cultural market! The salespeople are so sweet and friendly. The love for what they specialize in or do shines through in their smiles. The market is like none of the others in the city due to its Latin American cultural roots and flavors. They have private, original art for sale (meet the artisans themselves), fresh vegetables, breakfast items, coffee/tea/mate, delicious-looking pastries, dog treats, and my favorite...local honey products. They even have a great looking website (listed above). The Bad News: While it is VERY small (10 tents possibly), they have a great variety of local products. Bring cash! :) The VERY Bad News: You'll have to wait until next year ;(. The market only runs (well this past year) on Sundays from July 27th until October 26th 9 am to 2 pm. ---- Featured in the Weekly Yelp-Chicago "Farmers Market Almanac" on June 2, 2009: http://www.yelp.com/weekly?editorial_id=W8Z6vofGex0KswvVq8Uxhw

Agreed, it's a small Farmer's Market but still worth a visit. I always feel great about supporting…read morelocal farmers and merchants and the bonus is I get good treats to eat. Today we stopped there after grabbing some coffee on 18th and Carpenter ;-). We picked up some juicy tomatoes, corn, onions, grape tomatoes, potatoes and garlic. I also grabbed some chicken and mole and ground beef and potatoes empanadas on the way out for our lunch. We reheated them on the panini grill at lunch time. I also scored some fun peach jam. Can't wait to go back next week and try the fresh bread, pastries, vegetarian tamales and tarts. I figure we will take our own "carry out" bags to do good for the environment and take a blanket with so we can turn our Farmer's Market walk into a Sunday picnic.

I'd really wanted to pick up some strawberries but there were only a couple booths selling them when I was here last week, unfortunately. On the other hand, I can appreciate that it's a compact market (it only spans the block directly in front of the Museum of Contemporary Art) so that makes it a little more manageable than some other markets for some folks. It's not a destination farmer's market or anything, but when I'm here for doctors appointments I'd pick up from here if I wanted some fresh farm goods.

So many unique food options - Korean, Italian, Cuban, Hawaiian, a bakery, a produce market, and a mini mart. I chose Firenze based on my daughter's recommendation, and it was delicious. I will definitely be visiting again. Great lunch option, and I'm sure it gets plenty of foot traffic around the train schedules.

I wish it had more filling and was a bit crispier. Overall, a nice spot to explore if you want to try a variety of foods in one place.

While I love the LP green city farmers market, it's incredibly crowded and if you have a car, good luck finding parking. This west loop location is smaller. There are fewer venders here than the other location, but there are far less people and finding parking isn't difficult at all. The park is also beautifully shaded and hilly. Clusters of tents are spread out a bit. You could miss a few if you don't walk around. As much as I love all of the bakery representation at the LP location, I will frequent the green city market in the west loop instead. It's so much less of a headache

While walking around, I kept smelling something really good and basically followed the scent until I found the Baked Cheese Haus booth. Soon as I saw them scraping all that melted cheese over the sandwiches, I already knew I was getting one. I went with the Jambon Cru. Melted raclette scraped over cured ham on toasted baguette with spring onions, baby gherkins, and Dijon. And wow... this thing was a cheesy overload. So much melted cheese, rich, creamy, and warm. The baguette was toasted with that nice crunch, sturdy enough to hold all of it together. Then the gherkins and Dijon came in and cut through all that richness with a little tang and sharpness, which made every bite better. Messy, cheesy, a little ridiculous honestly. The whole market has such a fun vibe too. Busy, lots of people walking around, fresh produce everywhere, live energy all around. The people at the booth were super friendly too. Now I'm seriously about to go to Wisconsin just to find them again.

For those who struggle with information overload at such markets, this one was the perfect size, making for a digestible stroll and an overall enjoyable experience. It was a very hot day but luckily many vendors were tucked away under some trees that provided plenty of shade. We ordered some delicious, meat-forward savory crepes from a stand and some lavender cold brew from Kikwetu (see my page for the individual review!) Dog friendly, kid friendly, and centrally located are just a few perks of the Green City Market. 10/10!

I have always wanted to visit this farmers market since getting settled into East Garfield Park…read moreneighborhood and living only a block away from the Hatchery (Food Incubator) where it is located. Now that my work schedule has been adjusted and I have weekends off, the opportunity to visit became relevant. My interest to visit was to get more into purchasing fruits and vegetables that are presented, however, I do love visiting the set-ups with the tempting sweet goodies which at this location I did enjoy ice cream at a vendor known as 'Bartleby's Ice Cream Cakes' and conversing with the ladies during my visit. Initially, I was on the fence with visiting this location because there were not many customers at it despite the many vendors. Which might be because most in the East Garfield Park community are not familiar with farmers market or simply cannot afford it. Despite being on the fence, I vowed to one of the vendors that I would stop in after leaving Bud Billiken Parade at the time after asking how long the market will be open for the day. The conversation alone gave me that welcoming feeling to return. I am all about supporting local entrepreneurs that are trying to get their name and items out there which becomes reality at farmers market. On a last note, I do anticipate returning when the season comes around because it gives me the chance to get acclimated with some of the entrepreneurs not just at this farmers market, but, the Hatchery as well. ~Blessings~ Thomas G
