Excerpt:
The Democratic National Convention has moved on, but a number of local organizations are still benefiting from the big event in Chicago.
With sustainability a priority for this year’s convention, one of those local organizations and partners was an urban farm—Growing Home in Englewood. CBS News Chicago is told the urban farm’s involvement in the convention will make for a long-term impact.
From February to November, Growing Home operates a fully functioning 1.75-acre farm along Wood Street near the old Norfolk Southern Railroad elevated railway trucks, just north of 59th Street. You name it, Growing Home is growing it—eggplant, sweet and hot peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers, squash, onions, garlic.
“Of course, Englewood is a food insecure neighborhood,” said Growing Home Farms and Program Manager Ezra Lee. “We distribute through our farmers market here. Green City Market, and also through wholesale partnerships.”
Lee said Growing Home does more than provide fresh food for a neighborhood without access. He said the farm is a workforce development center.
