Edible Chicago

Ahead of the opening on June 19, we took a first look at the campus through an Edible lens.

While much of the conversation will focus on the museum itself, we were drawn to the gardens, native landscapes, local food partnerships, and public spaces designed to bring people together.

From the Eleanor Roosevelt Fruit & Vegetable Garden to South Side catering collaborations and nearly 200,000 flowering perennials, the campus offers a compelling look at how food, ecology, and civic life can intersect.

Read our full story on what food lovers, gardeners, and curious Chicagoans should know before they visit.

A peak into harvesting green garlic, oyster, and shiitake mushrooms at this morning in Beloit, Wisconsin.

Processing the green garlic takes time—carefully pulled from the ground, roots intact, washed, cleaned of wilted leaves all to be presented near picture perfect at market.

Green garlic is a fragrant allium used from root to tip, great in marinades, pestos, dressings and so much more. And according to Jerry Boone, the roots make for a great fried snack or topping!
