Green City Market finds permanent home for year-round farmers market
After years of searching, the group behind some of Chicago’s most popular farmers markets has secured its first permanent location.
The nonprofit Green City Market announced last week that it purchased the North Center building at 2457 W. Montrose Ave. and will build out the space to host year-round farmers markets.
The 4,872-square-foot property was previously home to Plants, an interior landscaping company and retail greenhouse. The building was purchased for $899,000, and the deal closed Dec. 23, Green City Market Executive Director Letisha Steele said.
Steele said she expects to open the space sometime this year and plans to host a community event in March.
Green City’s mission is to expand accessibility to fresh, locally grown food. Its markets are “producer only,” meaning farmers sell what they grow and other vendors must source ingredients directly from the nonprofit’s farmers whenever possible, Steele said.
What tip should every Midwesterner know when it comes to enduring extreme winter weather?

can u imagine gettin all ur fresh produce from local farmers all year round?? 
gotta check out the chicago restaurant week too, i heard there r more than 500 restaurants offerin prix-fixe meals this yr 
and btw polar adventure day at northerly island park sounds like so much fun 
! They're all about supporting local farmers and making fresh, healthy food more accessible to everyone in Chicago. I mean, who doesn't love a good farmer's market on a cold winter day 
️? It's awesome that they've been searching for this spot for years and finally found it. Letisha Steele seems like a total rockstar for leading the organization – she's all about community and making a difference 
. And I'm so stoked that they'll be hosting year-round markets now, which means everyone in Chicago will get to enjoy the benefits of local produce no matter the season 
.
btw, have you tried chicago restaurant week yet? my fave restaurant is offering a killer prix-fixe deal this year!
i was just thinkin about how much chicago loves winter and i saw this cool thing that green city market is gettin a new permanent spot to host year-round farmers markets 
they were lookin around for ages but finally found this one place in north center and its gonna be 4,872 sq ft! thats so much space for all the local farmers to sell their goods 
cant wait to see what they do with it
. And don't even get me started on Restaurant Week... 500 restaurants offering prix-fixe meals? That sounds like a recipe for mass manipulation 
.
.
! Like, who doesn't love winter activities? But seriously, it's such a great way to spend quality time with friends and family while staying warm 
... but also, bundling up in layers and knowing when to say "no" to that outdoor adventure if it's gonna be a bummer weather day 
.
... took them YEARS to find it. And now they're just gonna build out the space and charge farmers a fee? Not exactly the "expanding accessibility" I was hoping for
