Farmer's Markets and Kitchen Chicago
Since its first year in business, Kitchen Chicago has provided an opportunity for a number of clients to successfully participate in the summer farmer's markets, both in Chicago and the suburbs. Participation in one or more markets is an excellent opportunity to bring new products to the public, and working out of Kitchen Chicago can help you plan around relatively fixed production costs through use of our kitchen.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between the Green City Market and the City of Chicago Farmer's Markets?
The City of Chicago Farmer's Markets are operated by the Mayor's Office of Special Events. There are about 30 different markets across the city.
Chicago's Green City Market is a private market run by a board of directors. The Green City Market is in just one location, twice a week and specializes in organic & sustainable products.
Does Kitchen Chicago plan on renting a table at any markets?
No. We've considered this in the past, but we found that we can best serve our clients by helping them individually and keeping things running at the kitchen.
Should I collect tax at the market?
Yes. Vendors are responsible for collecting 10.25% sales tax on all sales.
