Grow Organic Vegetables Anywhere There's Sun

We're growing organic heirloom vegetables on our Chicago rooftops and in our yards using homemade sub-irrigated planters (SIPs) and commercially available Earthboxes.

We also keep bees on our roofs, hens under the deck, and fermenting vegetables in our kitchens. We're glad you stopped by.

"Why Bother?"

"Measured against the Problem We Face, planting a garden sounds pretty benign, I know, but in fact it's one of the most powerful things an individual can do--to reduce your carbon footprint, sure, but more important, to reduce your sense of dependence and dividedness: to change the cheap-energy mind."

Michael Pollan
