Memorial Day weekend marks the unofficial start of summer in Chicago — patio season, seasonal menus, neighborhood gatherings, and long weekends centered around food.
We’re grateful to the farmers, chefs, operators, and hospitality teams helping bring those moments to life all season long.

Here’s to a safe and delicious holiday weekend.

Nothing says summer in Chicago like the Crosstown Classic, local food, and a ballpark full of great people.

Last week, we celebrated our Local Season Opener at Rate Field, bringing together farmers, chefs, customers, and friends for an evening inspired by one of Chicago’s favorite rivalries. Between innings, guests enjoyed dishes featuring fresh produce from local farms, tofu noodles from Phoenix Bean, and crispy Farm Frites fries seasoned with Midwest Foods Spice Seasoning Salt.

From crab rolls and mushroom tostadas to specialty cocktails and plenty of conversation, the night was all about celebrating local flavors, community, and the partnerships that keep Chicago’s hospitality industry moving.

Thanks to everyone who joined us for such a fun night at the ballpark.

Stop Food Waste Day highlights a simple truth. Sustainability shows up in both big commitments and everyday actions. It is built into how we support our partners across the entire supply chain.

From signing the U.S. Food Waste Pact with ReFED and World Wildlife Fund, to earning Green Business Bureau Platinum certification and EcoVadis recognition, our focus is on creating measurable impact.

But real change also happens in the kitchen.

We work alongside our customers to reduce waste in practical ways. That includes labor-saving, yield-optimizing pre-cut produce, along with simple, creative ideas from our team (Tucker McIntyre) making tepache from pineapple cores to use all parts of the produce.

In this carousel, you will find:
• A look at some of our sustainability milestones
• A real-world example of waste reduction in action
• Tips from our team to help maximize every ingredient

Want the full story?
Explore our Spring Collection for a deeper dive into our sustainability efforts, food waste strategies, and the full tepache technique.

In the April 2026 issue of Produce Business Magazine, our Director of Local and Sustainability Alex Frantz examines the complexities of local sourcing in the produce industry. Local sourcing can no longer operate out of a model where the rubric depends on geographic proximity to have a significant impact.

Instead, Alex emphasizes the need for a more advanced 2.0 approach that considers the needs of growers and buyers alike, while prioritizing impact and long-term success across the supply chain.

Wild ramps are a true sign spring has arrived, available for only a brief window before they disappear back into the forest floor. With a bold flavor that sits between garlic and sweet onion, they bring an unmistakable seasonal depth to early spring menus.

Best used fresh or lightly cooked, ramps work beautifully in pestos, compound butters, sautés, and simple sauces. The bulbs and greens are both edible, making them a versatile ingredient that pairs well with eggs, mushrooms, citrus, and fresh herbs.
