Join Jake Potashnick of Feld for an intimate morning exploring the relationships that shape Chicago’s local food community.

Inspired by Jake’s “relationship-to-table” philosophy, this guided experience invites guests behind the scenes of Green City Market to meet the farmers, growers, and producers whose work directly influences some of Chicago’s most celebrated kitchens. Rather than simply focusing on what arrives on the plate, Relationship to Table highlights the people, stories, and partnerships behind the food itself.

Guests will move through the market alongside Jake before peak crowds, hearing firsthand about sourcing, seasonality, Midwest agriculture, and the relationships that shape the ever-evolving menu at Feld.

The morning includes:

• A guided seasonal market tour with Jake Potashnick
• Conversations with Green City Market farmers and vendors
• Insight into sourcing, seasonality, and relationship-driven dining
• Light market breakfast featuring seasonal pastries, fruit, and coffee from Green City Market vendors
• A rare small-group experience supporting Green City Market’s nonprofit mission
