Outdoor Farm
Our outdoor farm (oFarm) is a commercial food production farm on an acre of land in Auburn Gresham. We grow diversified vegetables, herbs, and flowers in raised beds using biointensive practices to maximize yields on a small footprint. All our products are grown using organic standards; we center practices including crop rotation, occultation, amending beds with compost, and companion planting. Our produce can be found in our Local Unified CSA shares or at farmer’s markets around Chicago: check out those pages to learn more!
Contact us at ofarm@theurbancanopy.org. We are currently not hosting volunteers or events.
Indoor Farm
A year round way to grow local, pesticide free wheatgrass and microgreens
Our Indoor Farm allows us to grow year round in a controlled environment. We primarily grow wheatgrass but have also grown a variety of microgreens. Wheatgrass is juiced and taken in 1-2 ounce shots with high concentrations of antioxidants, Vitamin A, C, and E, iron, calcium, magnesium, amino acids, and chlorophyll. Our wheatgrass shots can be found at our farmers market stands, juice bars throughout Chicago, and in bottled juices.
