Get Your Soil Tested for Free
We are excited to announce the launch of our free soil health program with the support of the NRCS!
Open to farmers, community gardeners, and home gardeners, this program will provide up to $1200 per site for soil testing. We hope to rebuild the Chicago area’s soil to address key issues for urban growers cultivating food in an urban setting. Improving soil health means improving community health! For more information, reach out to soil@auachicago.org.
