About Growing Home

At Growing Home, we believe that everyone deserves access to meaningful employment, nutritious food, and a vibrant, supportive community. Our mission is to use organic urban agriculture as a powerful tool for job training, employment, food access, and community development in Englewood.

We see farming as more than just growing food—it’s a unique and transformative way to teach transferable job skills while providing a therapeutic space for personal growth and connection. Through our innovative Workforce Development Program, we have empowered over 600 individuals to overcome barriers such as criminal records, homelessness, and limited job histories, helping them become successful members of Chicago’s workforce.

As operators of Chicago’s first high-production, USDA-certified organic urban farms, we are redefining what it means to create local, sustainable food systems. By focusing on community engagement and food and nutrition education, we are committed to improving food security and fostering a healthier, more connected Englewood community.For more information about our impact and model, please visit our website at growinghomeinc.org.
