This is not food delivery as you would normally think of it! Due to the expanding popularity of CSAs in Chicago, the Aon Center – Chicago’s third tallest skyscraper – as well as the Illinois Tollway Authority, have announced plans to act as CSA drop-off locations this season, making it more convenient to get farm fresh produce into the hands of Chicago urbanites.
“When large-scale institutions like the Aon Center and the Illinois Tollway Authority begin to work with us to expand CSA drop-off locations into high-traffic locations, it is a sign that this movement is expanding into the mainstream,” said Jim Slama, executive director of FamilyFarmed.org.
Great news for local farmers, and for eaters!
