When last we visited City Provisions, the north side temple of all things local and/or meaty, we heard whispers about a forthcoming Meat CSA or farm share program. The program is official, the details are here, and you can buy it now. Based on the meat we ate there and the skills of the people in the kitchen, it's going to be a heck of a deal. more ›

We love CSAs and farm shares, but sometimes they can be a bit hard to manage. If you don't eat enough produce fast enough or if you are gone for weeks at a time on business, a farm share can pile up and rot in your refrigerator or be hard to get delivered at all. If you are looking for a convenient, flexible way to get organic produce delivered right to your door, for a reasonable price, try Door-to-Door Organics, which started operations in Chicago in October. Even better, as a special gift to Chicagoist readers, after the jump you can find a discount code good for 40% off. more ›

We grabbed our newest squash family member as the centerpiece for a meatless Monday entrée. more ›
