AUA’s Winter Gathering this year is the 4th Annual Urban Livestock Expo. Come and learn all about raising bees, goats, chickens, and more at the Chicago High School for Agricultural Sciences (3857 W 111th St). We have a great lineup of presenters, and are working on securing some local food and beverage vendors to make sure you’re warm and fed throughout the event (10AM-1PM). Oh, and admission is FREE – spread the word! (RSVP and invite friends via Facebook here)
The Expo’s presenters and information tables will represent Chicago’s leading urban livestock organizations and businesses: Chicago Chicken Enthusiasts, Belmont Feed & Seed, Christy Webber Farm & Garden, Chicago Honey Co-op, West Side Bee Boyz, Home to Roost, Homegrown & Handmade, Goat Guardians Guild, U of I Extension and Urban Chicken Rentals.
