2. Urban farming: Yep, that’s a thing. In fact, Chicago has about a dozen urban farms (small farm plots smack in the middle of the city that are tended to by volunteers) and all accept volunteers on an ongoing basis. City Farm, on Chicago Avenue near Larabbee Street, is easily accessible by the brown line, and has weekly volunteer orientations Saturday mornings. Contact
cityfarm@resourcecenterchicago.org for more information.
