One of the many perks of working at Picnic is that there is always something wonderful to sample. Here, staff share some of our favorite products. Liz Ahearn: “About once a week I like to splurge and make myself a decadent breakfast: farm fresh eggs from Lavender Hill Farms and D’artagnan uncured applewood smoked bacon.

Step Into History and Stay Awhile! I love living in Rogers Park, so it was a natural fit for me to open Picnic in my neighborhood. But exactly where was that perfect space?
