Plant Chicago

Our Story

Founded in 2011, Plant Chicago serves as the anchor tenant of The Plant, a collaborative hub for food businesses dedicated to revaluing waste. This organization has transformed an abandoned pork processing facility into a vibrant center for circular economy programming, focusing on sustainable food production and community engagement.

Impact

With over $500,000 in direct benefits to local businesses and 3,600 youth engaged annually through hands-on workshops, Plant Chicago is making a significant impact. The year-round farmers market has matched thousands of dollars of locally grown produce with low-income households, fostering community resilience.
