About This Organization

logosmallPlant Chicago‘s mission is to develop circular economies of food production, energy conservation, and material reuse, while empowering people of all backgrounds to make their cities healthier and more efficient. Plant Chicago operates out of The Plant, a 93,500 square foot former pork processing facility being re-purposed into a net-zero collaborative community of food businesses all committed to reusing waste. The Plant is a for-profit/non-profit collaboration between Bubbly Dynamics and Plant Chicago, and it currently houses over 15 growers and producers including greens, honey, mushrooms, wood-fired bread, honey, coffee, kombucha, beer and more. Plant Chicago operates tours of the facility, runs education programming, technology demonstration, and one of the few year-round farmers markets in the city featuring products produced on site.

    ABOUT THE GUIDE

    The James Beard Foundation, Food Tank, and Valrhona, along with a prestigious advisory group of food system experts, developed the “Good Food Org Guide.”

    This definitive Guide highlights nonprofit organizations that are doing exemplary work in the United States in the areas of food and agriculture, nutrition and health, hunger and obesity, and food justice.

    Only nonprofit, scholarly, and municipal initiatives have been selected in order to spotlight efforts that are focused on community building and engagement, advocacy, and service.
