Our Story

“Food with purpose. Ingredients with intention"

We believe a lot more can come from cooking with seasonal, local ingredients than just delicious, nourishing food. By working with like-minded farmers and partners we extend our reach to support an even broader community. A community that shares our same passion for sustainability, nutrient dense wholesome food, less waste, and greater health for our bodies and the planet. Now that’s what we call food with purpose.”

While at Gibsons in 2012, Kasia and Britni met and shared common visions of healthy, clean lifestyles and flavor-forward food. In 2013, the duo officially partnered together and began their FARE journey - first serving their hearty, wholesome foods at Chicago festivals and catering jobs. Today, FARE has its first location in Chicago's Wells St. Food Market and is building a community of loyal followers, enticed by the menu's wellness-focused, flavor-packed food.

Each month in our newsletter we highlight a FARE team member and ask a few fun questions. This month we thought we’d take a crack at it. So here goes... . Name: Kasia Bednarz / co-founder . Favorite FARE menu item? The chocolate chunk cookies. Because they are chocolate chunk cookies ... they have such clean ingredients and happen to be vegan and gluten free, so basically like eating kale 😉 . What do you always have in your fridge? Eggs, lemons, avocados, and so many veggies! Oh, and wine. Always wine. . When you’re not at FARE, you’re...? Thinking about FARE or what I’m going to eat next. Or simultaneously doing both. 😉 . Favorite Chicago restaurant: Avec or Lula Cafe. They have been around for 15+ years for a reason! If you haven’t been, these are a must! . Do you subscribe to our newsletter? Head to foodbyfare.com to get on the list . 📷@ayakasano.co
Wednesdays @greencitymarket 💛 When tomatoes are in season we never leave without a bag full! Raw pasta sauce with shaved baby zucchini, basil + Parmesan, BLT sandwiches on the crustiest sourdough you can find @publicanqualitybread, or just sliced sprinkled with @maldonsalt and the best cold pressed olive oil you’ve got! The joys of summer ☀️#foodbyfare
Will avocado toast ever get old? 🥑Not here! We change up the toppings seasonally to keep it fresh and right now you’ll find it loaded with watermelon radish 🍉, toasted seeds, micro greens and a generous helping of our signature FARE dressing. Top it with an egg for a hearty breakfast or lunch, split it with a friend for an afternoon snack, no time is the wrong time for this beaut. Happy Friday friends ☀️
Our summer menu is in full swing and guaranteed to make this Monday even brighter ☀️ #eattherainbow #foodbyfare
When you use quality ingredients and produce at the peak of ripeness, it’s easy to make the most simple combinations memorable . . That’s exactly why at FARE we let the ingredients speak for themselves. Changing the menu seasonally to highlight the best produce, and thoughtfully choosing fresh herbs / spices / house made dressings to only enhance their already delicious flavors . . And because we’re all about snacks...These seeded crackers topped with Humboldt Fog goat cheese, a drop of local honey and the seasons very best @mickklugfarm strawberries hit the spot every time. Happy snacking #foodbyfare #embracetheseason
* CLOSED JULY 4th + 5th * . . in the meantime you can find us shopping all the farmers markets we can find, eating copious amounts of the seasons last strawberries, straight from the container (as pictured above🍓) and enjoying some down time with the ones we love. See you back on Monday!
