What they do
The 61st Street Farmers Market is a program of Experimental Station, serving as a vital node in Chicago’s South Side food system. It hosts regional farmers and producers from Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, and Wisconsin, offering seasonal produce, pasture-raised meats, and artisanal goods. The market is a recognized leader in food assistance, serving as the top redemption site in Chicago for Link (SNAP) and the Link Match doubling program.
Why it’s listed
The market is listed for its 15-year commitment to food justice and bioregional economic resilience. By establishing a high-quality “food oasis” in an area historically underserved by grocery infrastructure, and by pioneering the technology and policy for SNAP acceptance at farmers markets, Experimental Station has created a canonical model for urban-rural bridge building.
