Green City Market Lincoln Park

Join Jake Potashnick of Feld for an intimate morning exploring the relationships that shape Chicago’s local food community.
Inspired by Jake’s “relationship-to-table” philosophy, this guided experience invites guests behind the scenes of Green City Market to meet the farmers, growers, and producers whose work directly influences some of Chicago’s most celebrated kitchens. Rather than simply focusing on what arrives on the plate, Relationship to Table highlights the people, stories, and partnerships behind the food itself.
Guests will move through the market alongside Jake before peak crowds, hearing firsthand about sourcing, seasonality, Midwest agriculture, and the relationships that shape the ever-evolving menu at Feld.
The morning includes:
<ul><li>A guided seasonal market tour with Jake Potashnick</li><li>Conversations with Green City Market farmers and vendors</li><li>Insight into sourcing, seasonality, and relationship-driven dining</li><li>Light market breakfast featuring seasonal pastries, fruit, and coffee from Green City Market vendors</li><li>A rare small-group experience supporting Green City Market’s nonprofit mission</li></ul>
<h3>About Jake Potashnick</h3>
Jake Potashnick is the chef and partner behind Feld, the Michelin-starred Chicago restaurant known for its hyper-seasonal Midwestern cuisine and ingredient-driven tasting menu. Feld has earned national recognition for its thoughtful approach to dining, including a Michelin star and a James Beard Award nomination for Best Chef: Great Lakes.
Jake describes Feld not as a farm-to-table restaurant, but as a “relationship-to-table” restaurant, centered on building meaningful connections with farmers, ranchers, fishers, and producers throughout the Midwest.
Jake has longstanding ties to Green City Market and regularly sources directly from market farmers, reflecting a shared commitment to strengthening local food systems and honoring the people who grow our food.
<h3>Supporting Green City Market</h3>
Proceeds from this experience directly support Green City Market’s work to build a more resilient local food system rooted in farmer support, food access, and edible education for all.
