Evergreen Brick Works: The Chefs' Market - A unique new market connecting local chefs with local farmers
  Home  ·  Vendors  ·  Delivery  ·  Directions  ·  Contact

The Chefs’ Market offers bulk quantities of fresh local food direct from the farmers from the Greenbelt and beyond. It is a place that is as much about commerce as it is about building the network of chefs, caterers and retailers with farmers to strengthen local agricultural economies and help the environment by reducing the distance food travels.

Come to shop, meet one another, take part in workshops and enjoy a prepared lunch.

“I hadn’t realized the disconnect between the efforts of to grow our food, on any scale, and even a bigger gap of what it takes to grow organically and sustainably. Cooking professionally never taught me this—ten minutes on a farm did.”

A message from Chefs’ Market Manager Edmund Rek »

“Our style of food is finally being defined by our seasons and the strong relationships we are building with our supply chain. Growers are beginning to understand who we are, and chefs are gaining an appreciation for what growers can do. Farmers are becoming the new rock stars and chefs the hippies.”

— David Chrystian,
Executive Chef, Chez Victor

Executive Chef, Il Fornello
