Inspired by markets on a 1998 trip to Europe, food writer Abby Mandel started Green City Market in 1999 in the crosswalk outside the Chicago Theatre; the market quickly outgrew this site and migrated to the south end of Lincoln Park, where it is today. Green City is the first farmers market in the nation to require all its farmers to meet the requirements of a nationally-recognized third party agency, such as USDA Certified Organic and Animal Welfare Approved. The market operates through March in Avondale. In January, Green City purchased a former garden center at 2457 W. Montrose Ave., which will eventually support its 57 purveyors of fruits, vegetables, baked goods, meats, jams and preserves and other sustainably sourced products from Illinois, Indiana, Michigan and Wisconsin yearround. greencitymarket.org
