The Vision Growing Power inspires communities
to build sustainable food systems that are equitable and ecologically sound,
creating a just world, one food-secure community at a time.
The Mission Growing Power, Inc. is a
non-profit organization and land trust supporting people from diverse
backgrounds and the environment in which they live by helping to provide equal
access to healthy, high-quality, safe and affordable food. This mission is
implemented by providing hands-on training, on-the-ground demonstration,
outreach and technical assistance through the development of Community Food
Systems that help people grow, process, market and distribute food in a
sustainable manner. We've
even inspired a song ... Check out Harvey Taylor's "Growing Power" on
You Tube. |

From our workshops,
learn how to self-assess brown fields, develop appropriate soil testing
techniques, and create project plans for soil remediation of different
types of contaminants.
Internships are available at
Growing Power. Learn more about farming by interning in Chicago and

The Rainbow Farmers Coop
(RFC) establishes market opportunities for
small, independent producers of conventional and organic produce.
RFC is supported by Growing Power. And you can
shop there via the web. Buy
the honey we raise ourselves. RFC contributes to our
