Chicago FarmWorks, Heartland Alliance’s urban farm in the East Garfield Park community, fights two issues associated with poverty: economic opportunity and health. Utilizing a two acre farm in the East Garfield Park neighborhood, we distribute local produce of the highest quality to those who need it most, and help people overcoming multiple barriers to employment find full-time, permanent, viable jobs.
We invite community members to join us on the farm to volunteer. Get your hands dirty, have fun, and learn more about urban agriculture in a safe, socially distant environment!
We will be accepting group volunteers during our farming season, March to November, in groups of 10 or less. Farm tasks may include, but are not limited to; weeding, planting, harvesting, shoveling, and various other task. For more information or to schedule a visit, please contact Celeste Johnson at cejohnson@heartlandalliance.org.
