Urban Ag Resources Winter Workshop
February 5 @ 9:30 am - 1:00 pm
In partnership with NRCS, FSA, and Illinois Extension, we will host an in-person Winter Workshop on February 5th to connect urban farmers to available resources and celebrate the IAM-Chi Grant Kick-Off for 2025.
Come learn about what the Farm Service Agency (FSA), the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), Illinois Extension, Advocates for Urban Agriculture, Cook County Soil and Water Conservation District, The Conservation Fund, and other partner organizations can do to support your urban ag operation. You will meet the USDA’s Urban Team, learn of Financial Assistance Programs, partner organizations, and how to apply for the IAM-Chi Grant Program. Lunch will not be provided.
This event will be an opportunity to network and reconnect with other urban farmers and learn about the IAM-Chi program and other USDA resources for urban growers, hosted at Eden Place Farms, 4911 S Shields Ave, Chicago, IL 60609 from 9:30 am – 1 pm.
