Growing Solutions Farm is a 1.2-acre urban farm in the operated by Urban Autism Solutions in the IMD that provides hands-on job training for Chicago public high school transition students (ages 16-22) with autism and related disabilities.

Students learn to harvest food, follow food safety and sanitation guidelines, build raised beds, prepare soil, and maintain compost piles. They also gain transferable job skills by following directions, communicating with coworkers and supervisors, and managing tasks from start to finish. About 50 West Side students train at the farm during the school year. In the summer, 20-25 students work through the One Summer Chicago jobs program, earning wages paid by the City of Chicago.

The farm’s produce is sold at weekly on-site and community farm stands, as well as to restaurants and wholesalers. It also offers an eight-box CSA subscription, with all proceeds directly supporting vocational training programs.
