Plant Chicago is a nonprofit organization with a mission to promote closed-loop food production and sustainable economic development through education and research. We operate exclusively out of The Plant, a repurposed meatpacking plant in Chicago's Back of the Yards neighborhood.
This year at Plant Chicago:
- Volunteers donated over 3,000 hours to assist Plant Chicago in sustainable farm research, educational programming and materials reuse.
- Our tour program educated over 6,000 attendees about The Plant and Plant Chicago farming research operations, enabling them to take the model back to their communities, schools, and homes.
- We started the first Back of the Yards farmers market with support from local community organizations to sell produce and value-added foods from Plant Chicago farms and other tenants of The Plant.
- We expanded our staff from three part-time staff members to eight, creating jobs for educators, researchers, and farmers.
Please note that this event is a 21+ event and all attendees will be required to show proper identification at the door.
