Seaway Bank Farmers' Market

Created in 2005 as part of a bank’s 40th anniversary, this market serves the Chatham neighborhood in Chicago, an area known for limited access to supermarkets and an abundance of fast food outlets.

Farmers engage directly with residents, discussing nutrition and offering a variety of seasonal produce including tomatoes, greens, squash, peppers, and peas.

Open seasonally from July to September, the market also features gourmet desserts and other items that vary with the season.
