This year’s virtual event will highlight ways in which we Grow, Harvest, Celebrate, and Connect with each other through a series of interactive workshops. The event will culminate in a round-table discussion about urban agriculture and how it can bring us together during this time of social uprisings and global health crises. Your ticket purchase will include access to the virtual event and an AUA Tote Bag, filled with all of the materials needed to participate in the following workshops:

🍄 : Grow : An introduction to mushroom growing with Full Circle Fungi

🍴: Harvest : Karla Morales, Chicago Chef & owner of Amor Y Sofrito, teaches us how to cook Vegan Sancocho, a Chicago garden root veggie stew inspired by a traditional Puerto Rican style stew, with produce from local farms.

🎃 : Celebrate : Dia De Los Muertos Style Pumpkin Painting by Pilsen Arts & Community House. Learn how old practices of different cultures have evolved into what we celebrate today.

🐝 : Connect : A round-table discussion featuring members of the Chicago urban agriculture community, including Selma Sims of Gardeneers, Imron Bhatti of the U.S Department of Housing & Development, Dr. Saria Lofton of University of Illinois Chicago, and Johari Cole of Iyabo Farms
