Growing Solutions Farm Stand

2200 W. Campbell Park Drive

May 10 - October 4, 10 am-2 pm

The farm launched in 2013 as a pilot program consisting of a 900-square foot growing plot. Today the farm has close to 7,000 square feet of growing space. During the summer, the Growing Solutions Farm hosts 20-25 students in the One Summer Chicago jobs program. These students are 16-22 years old with autism or related challenges, and work at the farm and get paid by the City of Chicago. They learn how to harvest food and develop skills in food safety, sanitation, and preparation all while practicing important job skills like following directions, communicating effectively with co-workers and supervisors, and managing and completing tasks. Approximately 90 percent of students who participate in activities at the farm are from low-income families at or below the federal poverty level and experience food insecurity. Every week during the growing season, these students take home a bag of fresh, nutritious produce from the farm. Growing Solutions Farm also donates 20 percent of its harvest each week to Grace Seeds Ministry, which distributes its to food pantries on the West Side of Chicago. The farm also offers an eight-box CSA subscription. Proceeds from these sales directly support vocational programming at the farm. www.urbanautismsolutions.com/ growing-solutions-farm
