I'm excited to announce that AUA will be teaming up with
Slow Food Chicago in 2017 (and maybe earlier!) to organize a number of field days and crop mobs across Chicago as a way to support and highlight our city's wide range of amazing urban agriculture projects.
Before that collaboration officially gets underway, I want to make sure you're aware of
Slow Food Chicago's next crop mob at Growing Home on Saturday, November 5 from 9 till noon. Believe it or not, November is a busy time for urban farmers and help is needed with pulling tomatoes and getting the beds ready for the winter!
Growing Home is located at 5814 S Wood St, Chicago, IL 60636. hile parking at the farm is limited, street parking is available on Wood St. and the 59 bus stops a block away at Wood/59th St.
More info here, RSVP to Drew at dr...@slowfoodchicago.orgPlease bring a water bottle and wear closed-toe shoes to the farm for volunteering.
