Growing Home Inc.

Mission

Growing Home’s mission is to use organic urban agriculture as a powerful tool for job training, employment, and community development. Our goal is to create a more equitable Chicago by breaking cycles of poverty and unemployment through workforce training, employment support, and food access. We empower individuals facing barriers to employment by equipping them with the skills, resources, and confidence needed to secure stable, long-term jobs. At the same time, we work to improve community health by expanding access to fresh, nutritious food in Greater Englewood. As Chicago’s first and only USDA-certified organic high-production farm, we operate as a social enterprise dedicated to sustainable impact. As a Black- and woman-led organization, with staff members who are alumni of our program, we ensure that our work is deeply rooted in the needs and experiences of our community.

Vision

We believe everyone deserves access to a good job and good food.

Goals

1.A larger food processing area & indoor agriculture space will allow us to increase food production by over 70%. This will enhance our basic food outreach programs, free and discounted produce.
2.An indoor agriculture space would allow us to initiate training in “higher tech” agriculture such as hydroponics. The job market is looking for skilled employees in theres more specialized areas.
3.Increasing the number of people employed and trained at Growing Home will increase our impact on individuals and their families, as well as our community.
