Plant Chicago was established in 2011 as the anchor for the project known as The Plant, a collaborative community of food businesses on the southwest side of Chicago. For 8 years, Plant Chicago supported the ever evolving project and brought tangible benefits to the surrounding community.
We are now operating out of a former firehouse, which we are renovating into a center for circular economy programming in the Back of the Yards neighborhood on the southwest side of Chicago. More on Plant Chicago’s history can be found here.
