OUR STORY
Just Roots began in the Fall of 2017, when the co-founders began to work together with their community to develop and expand access to sustainably grown food. In 2020, during the height of the pandemic, Just Roots partnered with Saint James Catholic Church & Food Pantry to convert a vacant lot into the Saint James Community Farm, a 1/2 acre fruit and vegetable farm located on Chicago’s south side.
In 2021, we partnered with Grace United Church of Christ and Good Vibes to establish It Takes A Village Community Farm, a 3 acre farm located in Sauk Village, IL.
