Plant Chicago is a nonprofit organization with a mission to promote closed-loop food production and sustainable economic development through education and research. We operate exclusively out of The Plant, a repurposed meatpacking plant in Chicago's Back of the Yards neighborhood.

This year at Plant Chicago:

Volunteers donated over 3,000 hours to assist Plant Chicago in sustainable farm research, educational programming and materials reuse.

Our tour program educated over 6,000 attendees about The Plant and Plant Chicago farming research operations, enabling them to take the model back to their communities, schools, and homes.

We started the first Back of the Yards farmers market with support from local community organizations to sell produce and value-added foods from Plant Chicago farms and other tenants of The Plant.
