Growing Together
Annual Fundraising Event
Our annual Growing Together event is a celebration of local food and farming in Chicago!
Our 2026 event will take place on Thursday, September 17th! The event features delicious dishes prepared by some of Chicago's most talented chefs and all of the dishes are made using fresh, organic produce from Just Roots' farms.
In addition to the amazing food, the event includes live music, an open bar, and a silent auction.
All of the proceeds directly support Just Roots' mission to develop and expand access to local, sustainably grown food in Chicago.
We will release more information about the event in April 2026.
