It doesn’t get any fresher than that! Come and experience what makes Big Delicious Planet one of only two 4-Star Certified Green Restaurants in Chicago!
Urban Agriculture Showcase – Meet the farmers and gardeners who grew your dinner! This unique, “hyper-local” farmers market will feature a diverse array of farms and gardens within the city limits. Bring your market bag to stock up on some produce and chat with people successfully pushing Chicago’s urban agriculture boundaries. Are you a farmer? Or do you dream of becoming a farmer? Organizations offering funding and other resources for urban ag projects in Chicago will also be at the market for you to connect with.
