Many of our amazing farm friends have been asking... what's up with NOF this summer?
We are taking a year off to recalibrate! We have some exciting things cooking up for 2022! Please dm us if you need a solid CSA connect this year! Many of our local farm friends will be providing home grown fresh produce, herbs and flowers.
We will be back in action soon!
Much love to all of you and thank you for supporting us.
Keep growing 🌻!

BEWARE‼️

This weeks farm fresh menu is gonna add a ton of spice to raw or cooked dishes! These heirloom watermelon radishes are INTENSELY spicey. 🔥 We recommend pickling them or taking a cheese shredder to them and garnishing any dish to add a kick. Yum! 🍜

Week 16 of the CSA has arrived along with fall weather! 🍂

As the season winds down we're working harder than ever to clear beds to seed new crops to be harvested before it's time to put the farm to sleep and say goodnight 'til next year. Until then, we're making the most out of our time on the farm & keeping summer vibes alive with this weeks CSA goodies. 🍅🌶

Have a tasty weekend everyone! 🥗

Who we are...

We are a worker-owned agricultural business that provides sustainably grown produce located on Windy City Harvest’s Legends Farm in the Bronzeville neighborhood of Chicago. We are currently comprised of five worker-owners all trained through the Chicago Botanical Gardens urban agriculture program.

We came together after our training around a love for sharing local produce, particularly unique crops and those with a deep, often lost, history. We all believe in growing food using natural processes and without pesticides. Nature knows best and we do our best to listen.

We are committed to the spirit of worker-ownership and the equitable distribution of power among workers. We all work together to come to decisions. Everyone who plucks your produce is also an owner. No bosses! This model flies in the face of industrial and large farm practices which offer very low wages for workers and provide no decision-making power or ability to gain ownership in the business. Just as our mission says, "we believe food tastes better when it is grown under equitable conditions by valued and invested workers." Give us a chance to show you!
