Celebrate with us this year as we reflect on 11 years of improving food access and equity for our neighbors in Chicagoland!

Harvest against Hunger is back again, and this year's is one you won't want to miss. We are excited to celebrate with our community, IN PERSON, for the first time since 2019! The event will be held at the Waterleaf Restaurant, and like before, we will celebrate the season's harvest through a celebration of our local farms and growers through seasonal produce. At this casual event this year, we will celebrate the season with small plates curated from recipes received from clients and our 2022 Home Gardening Program participants!

Those that participate in our event can also take home a curated box of recipes, seasonal produce, and join us for a mixology demonstration for an additional upcharge.

We invite you to join The GardenWorks Food Readers Book Club's fall gathering. We will discuss Dirt to Soil: One Family's Journey into Regenerative Agriculture by Gabe Brown. 

In Dirt to Soil Gabe Brown tells the story of that amazing journey and offers a wealth of innovative solutions to restoring the soil by laying out and explaining his “five principles of soil health,” which are:

• Limited Disturbance
• Armor
• Diversity
• Living Roots
• Integrated Animals

The Brown’s Ranch model, developed over twenty years of experimentation and refinement, focuses on regenerating resources by continuously enhancing the living biology in the soil. Using regenerative agricultural principles, Brown’s Ranch has grown several inches of new topsoil in only twenty years!

Find out more and discover as a community different ways our western Chicagoland region can engage in this important topic of earth stewardship.

The GardenWorks Project is proud to host a Food Growers Network event at the St. Charles Public Library. Canning and preserving your harvest is a practical way to extend your seasonal eating into winter. There are many different preservation techniques and many of these will be discussed. Join us for an important discussion on building resilience within the region through improved sustainability and greater health and wellness.
