The Farm-City Market
Basket Program
The Market Basket Program is a CSA-style food
distribution program designed to connect urban consumers with small-scale,
regionally local food systems.
The program consists of weekly deliveries of boxes of
produce from our Farmer’s Cooperative to neighborhoods throughout urban
Chicago and Milwaukee. This program is a year-round food security program
that supplies safe, healthy, and affordable whole foods, vegetables, and
fruits to communities at a low cost. Because the program is run on a weekly
basis, each customer may engage week to week at a pace that is right for
them.

Farm City Market Basket is primarily a food security program, designed to make
whole good, fresh veggies, and healthy cooking and eating available to the
urban consumer who may have limited access to these things. The basket
consists of 10-15 different varieties of veggies in quantities intended to
last 2-4 people throughout the week.
During the Spring, Summer, and Fall, most of the
produce comes from our co-op; during the off-season we supplement through a
small-scale, family owned, local wholesaler pf conventional produce.
Through this relationship we strive to support small, local farms,
businesses, and relationships during the winter months.

Sustainable Box is also a food security program designed to make sustainably grown, organic produce available at an affordable price to a
variety of urban communities who may or may not have been exposed to this
kind of food before. This basket also consists of 10-15 different varieties
geared towards a family of 2-4.
During the spring, summer , and fall, all of the
produce comes from our co-op; during the off-season we supplement this
program through a certified organic, small-scale, family owned wholesaler on
the south side of Chicago. Through this relationship we are supporting one
of our local partners and a necessary national alternative source of organic
produce for all kinds of consumers.
