About Chicago Grows Food
Chicago Grows Food is a collaborative project devoted to expanding and unifying the food growing community in Chicagoland. We are working towards food sovereignty by providing the materials, tools, education and resources for anyone to grow their own food!
Help us feed people for life. Empowering people to garden at home contributes to a more just and equitable food system giving people the opportunity to grow fresh, healthy, culturally relevant food.
Our Mission
By reducing barriers to gardening, Chicago Grows Food is increasing access to fresh produce, reducing food insecurity and improving mental and physical health.
Our mission is to creatively connect advocates for safe and environmentally-conscious food production, land stewardship, food access, food security and nutrition to catalyze and sustain equitable and holistic health outcomes for the communities of Chicago.
