Chicago FarmWorks is a program affiliated with Heartland Alliance. Heartland Human Care Services, in partnership with the City of Chicago, NeighborSpace, and the Greater Chicago Food Depository, operates a 2.6 acre urban farm in Chicago’s East Garfield Park neighborhood. It distributes local produce of the highest quality to those who need it most, while supporting people working overcoming multiple barriers to employment to secure full-time, permanent, viable jobs. Chicago FarmWorks also operates a program at Harvest Commons, a supportive housing building operated by Heartland Housing. Residents participate in nurturing the garden, a flock of chickens, and honeybees. By locating affordable housing and a sources of fresh, healthy food onsite, we are addressing the health disparities facing many of Chicago’s low-income communities.
