Green City Market (GCM), the nonprofit organization behind Chicago's sustainable farmers' market, is hosting an evening of local, sustainable food and conversation at Bungalow by Middle Brow, a Chicago restaurant, brewery, and fan-favorite GCM vendor, on Monday, October 24 at 6:00 p.m.

The third installment of GCM’s Sustainable Supper Series will feature a panel discussion on the business of farming and the importance of sustainable collaborations. Previous installments of the series focused on the meaning of local, sustainable food and hyper-local farms working to expand urban agriculture. 

The panel discussion will be moderated by Marisa Mulh, Director of Marketing at Tock. 

“Both myself and our entire team at Tock are extremely proud to be partnering with GCM’s incredible Sustainable Supper Series,” said Marisa Mulh. “As champions for the F&B industry, we recognize the importance of supporting and promoting a sustainable lifestyle both in and outside the kitchen, and appreciate all that GCM does to expand knowledge of sustainability throughout Chicago.” 

Joining Marisa on the panel will be Pete Ternes, owner of Middle Brow, and Marty Travis, owner and operator of Spence Farm, to discuss sustainable collaborations between farms and restaurants. 

“The reason we work in food is to engage in and encourage sustainability in our personal lives, our neighborhood and the broader Chicagoland community,” said Pete Ternes. “Sustainability isn't just about driving expensive electric cars. It's about making thoughtful life choices on a daily basis. Meeting and working with farmers through Green City Market has taught us the importance of these small decisions.”

Tickets include a locally and sustainably sourced three-course meal with three beverage pairings (two taster beers and one house brewed kombucha) and a tip for service staff. 

Proceeds from this event series will support Green City Market's 501c3 nonprofit mission to support local, sustainable farmers, educate our community about where food comes from and why this knowledge matters, and expand food access in Chicago.

Tickets can be purchased via Tock at www.greencitymarket.org/sustainablesupperseries.
