Open House Chicago 2018

For the third consecutive year, Growing Home is thrilled to join Chicago Architecture Center for Open House Chicago! On October 13 and 14, our Wood Street farm will be open from 9am until 5pm for self-guided and staff-led tours.

The farm stand will open at 11am each day, offering our USDA-certified organic vegetables and herbs until we sell out– which we will!

Wherever I go in the next five, ten, twenty years, it's always going to come back to this. To Growing Home. Because there's something that you all saw in me, and your hearts went out to me. People don't have to do something like that if they don't want to. They do it because they believe someone like me deserves a second chance. Growing Home gave me a second chance.
