Growing Home, Inc.

Everyone deserves to have a good job, and everyone deserves to eat well. That’s why we’ve been helping people find meaningful careers through skills learned while farming since 2002.

Growing Home is Chicago’s leading expert in farm-based training for people with employment barriers. By providing 25 hours per week of paid on-the-job experience and job-readiness training at our organic farms in Englewood-- plus the support to conquer issues like criminal records, medical needs, child-care, and housing-- we have changed the lives of hundreds of workers, and thousands of their family members.

You can find our certified-organic produce at Green City Market, Logan Square Farmers Market, and our Wood Street Farm Stand from April through November.
