FamilyFarmed At Play: Growing Home’s Social Mission Is Good Food and Good Jobs

Posted on May 26, 2017May 26, 2017 by FamilyFarmed

Visiting Growing Home’s urban farm would be a great field trip for FamilyFarmed wherever it was located. But Growing Home’s location, at 5814 S. Wood Street, and the social mission that it entails is what makes this nonprofit organization truly amazing: It is in the heart of West Englewood, a neighborhood of about 35,000 residents — nearly all African American — that has suffered from decades of job and population loss, economic decline and high crime rates.
