The weather looks great and the Potluck is definitely on for tonight, Friday, June 24th, from 6:00-9:00 pm.   Come out and join Slow Food Chicago and the Chicago Honey Co-op for our annual ‘Sweet’ Summer Solstice Potluck Supper on Friday evening, June 24th! Selected as a ‘Best of’ event by CBS Chicago.

Chicago Honey Co-op is an urban apiary dedicated to beekeeping training and sustainable agricultural practices. The West Side bee farm is home to about 60 chemical free hives that provide ingredients for jars of honey, honey mustard, candles and more. Proceeds from the Potluck will benefit the Chicago Honey Co-op. Tours will be given of the farm located on the site of the original Sears headquarters in Chicago, and of Slow Food Chicago’s preSERVE garden, a partnership with the North Lawndale Greening Committee, Chicago Honey Co-op, and NeighborSpace.
