About

THE PROJECT


Routes to Farm is a collaborative effort to make resources available to farmers who are launching or growing their farm businesses in the Chicago foodshed.

OUR MISSION


Routes to Farm strives to help organizations help farmers.

We are comprised of organizations that directly serve farmers and which offer programming or services that nurture, train and/or promote the viability of farms by: 

 

  • Providing assistance to farmers in the Chicago foodshed, defined as farmers within 400 miles of Chicago;
  • Defragmenting the resources that are available to farmers through close collaboration and coordination; and
  • Highlighting farming practices that are healthy, humane, fair, sustainable, and products that are locally sourced and sold.
