LINCOLN PARK — Chipotle will be at the Green City Market Wednesday and Saturday to hand out 250 $10 "tokens" that can be used to buy goods at the market.

Chipotle will provide the $10 "Green City Market tokens" to the first 250 people who enter each day to celebrate USDA National Farmers' Market Week.

The tokens can be used at any of the market's 36 vendors.

Chipotle will also be conducting salsa making demonstrations and will be handing out cilantro growing kits to market goers.

The Green City Market's chef demonstrations this week include Dirk and Terry Fucik of Dirk's Fish and Gourmet Shop Wednesday, and Kristine Subido of Pecking Order Saturday.

Chipotle's donation to the market is part of a national campaign that will set up similar programs at more than 55 farmers markets around the country.
