Growing Home

Growing Home’s mission is to operate, promote and demonstrate the use of organic agriculture as a vehicle for job training, employment, and community development. Growing Home operates a transitional job training program, and a social enterprise business through its Wood Street Urban Farm, Su Casa Market Garden, and Les Brown Memorial Farm. HEAR’s current grant supports Growing Home’s  community outreach efforts focusing on health and nutrition to the Englewood and greater Chicago-land communities.
