Growing Together

Annual Fundraising Event

Our annual Growing Together event is a celebration of local food and farming in Chicago!

Our 2025 event will take place on Thursday, September 18th at the Chicago Illuminating Company. The event features delicious dishes prepared by talented chefs from restaurants like Avec, Eden, Meraki Hospitality Group, The Evolved Network, Q Ibraheem, Common Threads, and more. 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.

All proceeds directly support our mission to develop and expand access to local, sustainably grown food in Chicago.
