About us
From its launch in May 2019, Naturally Chicago held dozens of live networking events that brought our growing Good Food and Natural Products community closer together. When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, we pivoted immediately to keep our community connected through a robust schedule of online programming. We’re so pleased that live programming has returned, with opportunities to build new business relationships, make new friends with common interests… and yes, we do have fun!

Way to go Farmer's Fridge and Kooshy for this awesome partnership! We can't wait to grab a Mexican Caesar Salad with Kooshy croutons. Matt Wachsman
BIG TIME PARTNERSHIP ALERT! We've teamed up with our fellow Chicago salad pals Farmer's Fridge to create a Mexican Caesar Salad featuring our Poco Picante chili & lime croutons and it's now available NATIONALLY across all fridges! If you aren't already a Farmers Fridge fanatic, you've probably noticed one of their vending machines in pretty much every major airport - ORD, LGA, LAX to name a few. There's 1,000+ fridges across airports, offices and universities so be sure to grab a fully prepped, fresh salad with Kooshy before your next flight. Or if you're like me and like to leave as little time between arriving at the gate and boarding time, just order ahead with their app and grab one mid-bag-juggling sprint. There couldn't have been a better team on the other end to help bring this to market so we owe a massive thank you to Kyle Markt Matea Couture Emily Stucker (Splett) Luke Saunders and Meg Crawford. We can't wait for thousands of new salad lovers around the country to discover that classic Kooshy crunch for the first time via Farmer's Fridge so feel free to help spread the word. And if there's any other food service partners out there that you think would be a good fit for us, feel free to let us know in the comments or via DM! #foodservice #partnership #salad #produce #vendingmachines #brandpartnerships #marketing #entrepreneurship #caesarsalad Jonathan W.
