Native Tongue X Logan Square Farmers Market

The Logan Square Farmers Market has been a fixture of Chicago's food scene for a decade. 2017 marks their 10 year anniversary as an established independent farmers market, and their foundation for the community has been an important movement for farmers, entrepreneurs and community members alike. Founded in 2005 as a project of the city of Chicago, the Logan Square Chamber of Commerce took it on as a multi-faceted approach to give back to the community by building an alternative food system and hub to foster entrepreneurship. In 2009, the LSFM expanded to operated during the winter months and became the first farmers market in Illinois to process EBT for LINK Card holders, which pioneered food availability in a new setting.

We're ecstatic to be at the last indoor Logan Square Farmers Market of the season on Sunday, March 26. We're debuting the Spring 2017 issue there, and you can purchase a copy at the community table. Stop by and say hi!

RECAP: Bridging the Gap

A big thank you to our attendees and partners, The Chopping Block and Green City Market, who helped make Bridging the Gap a wonderful Sunday afternoon! We hope everyone learned at least one thing to use in their day-to-day routine, whether it's how to make zucchini pasta, discovering millet grain, or how to post a fire Instagram photo of your food.

Like the magazine, "Bridging the Gap" is meant to be a platform for positive change. Our plan is to bring this event to schools and community centers to deliver an overall food experience that educates communities. The event was titled "Bridging the Gap" because we believe that Chicagoans from every neighborhood could unite around food and also discover the commonalities that we share. Erasing that divide means erasing the divide among food education and availability, and brings us one step closer to food equality.

Issue 2 is on the way. Come out to Logan Square Farmers Market on Sunday, March 26th to purchase your copy!
