GardenWorks and the Local Food Economy
Even if you aren't a food growers, there are ways to get involved in the movement towards greater food resilience! In recent years, The GardenWorks Project has partnered with local farms and farmer's markets to encourage the consumption of locally produced product during the growing season. We've create a list of vendors, farms, and locations, and we hope to see this listing GROW over the coming years. If you are a farmer or vendor that produces food within our region and you aren't on our listing, please contact us at [email protected] To a bountiful harvest of plenty within western Chicagoland!
