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.
Smart Farm Values
We believe that everyone has the right to healthy food and that a vibrant food system benefits all community members.
We are committed to serving those in need by growing the most nutritiously dense food possible.
We recognize our role as stewards of the land.
We respect the land and actively work to employ practices that restore our soil and water.
We are dedicated to teaching our community the benefits and practices of sustainable farming.

ABOUT ART IN THE BARN
Juried fine art festival with so much history . . .
Art in the Barn was started in 1974 when a group of ten women and local artists met to develop a quality art event for the Barrington community.
What began as an art show with 30 artists and 1,500 attendees has grown to be one of the most iconic and highest quality art festivals in the Chicagoland area with up to 180 juried artists exhibiting their work. With more than 49 years of momentum, this beautiful event draws returning art lovers and new visitors from the surrounding area where they enjoy not only the exhibition and sale of fine art, but also music and entertainment, food from a variety of vendors, and children's art.
Art in the Barn is one of the major fund-raisers for Advocate Good Shepherd Hospital which has donated millions to the hospital. It is sponsored by the Auxiliary of Good Shepherd Hospital.
