Farmers Struggle to Cultivate Markets
(Chicago Tribune) — You can’t buy those on the street, Tim Ngabtak tells John Thill as he eyes mustard seed plants at the Tibet Farms stand. Intrigued, Thill, a Morton Grove village trustee, picks up the plant, smells it and takes a bite. “Boy, is that stuff tart. That snuck up on me,” he said. “Your taste is different from my taste.”
Ngabtak smiles, pleased he got Thill to try something unfamiliar. “I’ve educated a lot of people,” said Ngabtak, who displays his offerings every Saturday at the Morton Grove Farmers’ Market, which opened in May.
