Join Growing Home staff to learn all about how we use soil and compost at an urban farm setting in Chicago! A tour of our 1.5 acre farm site with 7 hoop houses and outdoor space with our lead Farm Manager and mini-workshops on soil testing. And, you can learn first-hand by volunteering with us to prepare the beds for the spring growing season, which could include lessons on how we spread compost and make rows according to our crop plan as well as soil planting techniques itself.
