She Taught A City To Eat Locally


It was with heavy heart that the Chicago Culinary Community and supporters of the Chicago Green Market learned of the passing of Abby Mandel. Abby was the founding President and enthusiastic voice of the Chicago Green Market. She died Wednesday morning after an heroic battle with illness. She founded Chicago's Green Market 10 years ago and worked tirelessly to make it the overwhelming success that it is today. She taught this city to eat locally, to know our food, and to know our farmer. Thank-you, Abby. Your Market lives on! Thank-you. Chicago will miss you.
