Turning Vacant Lots into City Farms
Hosea Sanders

Sustainable urban gardening is a concept that's catching on throughout the city. One of the pioneers of the movement is opening its gates to show off its crops and celebrate with the community.

City Farm has been around for nearly fifteen years. Its goal is to feed the community while setting an example of how to use vacant city space in a productive and sustainable way.

City Farm covers one full acre of farmland at the corner of Division Street and Clybourn Avenue, nestled between the Gold Coast and Cabrini Green. The farm is a subsidiary of a south side non-profit called the Resource Center.
