Growing Home is a non-profit social enterprise that provides job training for low-income individuals in Chicago through organic agriculture. Our program provides experiential learning opportunities and employment in the horticulture field as well as a unique job readiness curriculum that helps reintroduces participants back into the workforce.

100% of the proceeds we make from sales of organic produce are used to improve our training program and pay for upkeep of our farm sites.

Our staff and program participants grow produce on our rural and urban farms for sale at farmer's markets and as part of our Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program.

The Wood Street Urban Farm is located at 5814 S. Wood Street, in the Englewood neighborhood on the South Side of Chicago, just a few blocks west of Ashland and 58th St. This site, as well as all of Growing home's other farm sites, is USDA Certified organic.

The Wood St Farm in particular is the site of various community events, workshops and activities.
