They’ve created something beautiful at the intersection of culture, futbol, and belonging

We’re grateful to share space with people who build with that same intention 🙏

Good things grow when good people come together. See you on the field!

🥬 Three’s a crowd? Nah. Three’s a kimchi party.

We loved hosting our friends and .chicago in our kitchen for a day of community building, kimchi / kimbap making, impromptu karaoke-singing, and (of course) dancing

Kimchi is far more than a side dish — it’s a cornerstone of Korean identity, eaten at every meal and present on every table for thousands of years.

The tradition of making it, known as kimjang (김장), is a cherished communal ritual where families and neighbors gather each winter to prepare it together, a practice UNESCO recognized as Intangible Cultural Heritage. More than just food, kimchi embodies the Korean values of community, resourcefulness, and a deep connection to the land.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Cheers to our beautiful friends and family Ajumma Rising and Pink Mu 💛🫰

🔋 📸 Upgrading our look with the incredible photographer Tessa Collins!

Since first starting our company, we have loved supporting local artists

In this AI-Crazed era, that commitment is not changing

Cheers to Art and thank you Tessa for these absolutely beautiful photos!

Here’s a bit about Tessa: (from Tessa herself!)

I’ve been photographing for a little over 8+ years now. What started out as a hobby and creative outlet turned into a skill I would develop throughout my academic career. I love photography for its story telling abilities and it is a passion I hope to continue to build and pursue throughout my life!

🧧 🐎 Happy Year of the Horse!

Hi Everyone 👋 Jen here, founder of Banato ~

4 years ago, our tiny sidewalk popsicle stand (Banato) joined the Logan Square Farmers Market. We sold out in 3 hours.

Throughout the years, we have loved this Logan Square community very dearly and made so many incredible friends with our vendors, customers, and market management

All of this to say, we are very grateful for being here and having a moment to celebrate with all of you - our Farmers Market Family!

Invite friends and share the word! All are welcome.

Join us at the Logan Square Indoor Farmers Market (2800 N Milwaukee) on 2/28 celebrating Lunar New Year!

Featuring:

✨ Raffle Prizes
✨ An amazing lineup of local small businesses
✨ Karaoke

Hope to see you there!

A true sign of a bananas founder 🍌

Hi everyone! Surprise! We have been popping up at the Logan Square Indoor Farmers Market at 2800 N Milwaukee 💛💛

Yes I have been terrible at sharing this news because:
1) social media is hard
2) see #1

But aside from that, there has been something so fulfilling about going back to Banato’s roots

See, Banato has gotten big. REALLY big. We now have a full team of extremely awesome people

But because of that, I’m not often at the stand over the summer since I’m working on the millions of other Business Owner Hats

Now, at this farmers market, it is just me and our little table - just like those weird Covid pandemic times when we stood awkwardly outside a closed cafe

Anyways, all of this to say, it’s been such a joy reuniting with our customers 💛 Thank you to all the beautiful people who have come to support us even in our 10th Polar Vortex of the season

Love all of you and hope to see you soon!

-Jen
