Mission


Urban Growers Collective (UGC) cultivates nourishing environments in Chicagos historically disinvested communities, seeding pathways to freedom while supporting residents health, economic development, healing and creativity through urban agriculture.

Organization Overview


UGC works to dismantle inequities and structural racism in the food system, which prevent communities of color from living healthy, vibrant lives. Ultimately, UGCs programs advance environmental equity to benefit and uplift all.

As a Black- and woman-led organization, we believe that achieving food justice is a necessary first step in healing the historical trauma experienced by communities of color, building their resilience, and, ultimately, achieving liberation. Although our work is rooted in farming, UGCs approach is holistic. Our urban farms produce over 18,000 pounds of fresh produce annually, enabling food access to thousands of food-insecure Chicagoans and providing educational and life-enriching opportunities to hundreds of individuals each year through public workshops, workforce development, and land stewardship.
