SMART FARM OF BARRINGTON

In partnership with Advocate Good Shepherd Hospital, land on their campus was offered to Smart Farm, and they began composting food scraps and expanded its farming area.

Smart Farm of Barrington is a volunteer-run, non-profit organization whose mission is two-fold: to grow fresh produce for our neighbors in need and to be an educational resource on sustainable gardening practices and healthy eating. Although our work focuses on a small geographic area, its cause is universal and essential: bright food for a healthy, sharing community.
