Welcome to the Corner Farm!
The Corner Farm —a collaborative urban-growing partnership and community garden— is located in Chicago’s Logan Square at the corner of W Altgeld and N Sawyer (map).
As a community farm, we encourage you to get involved: join us on garden days, help us meet our needs, or just be a friendly neighbor and stop by!

Like the garden, this website is a work in progress, but you can dig around to learn more about us, see pictures from past to present, and stay up to date on our ongoing projects.
The best way to stay informed about happenings at the Corner Farm is to join our email list and ‘like’ us on Facebook. To join the email list, just send a quick email and ask!

Unique among community gardens in Chicago, Corner Farm Logan Square is a completely collaborative venture, with everyone helping to grow everything, and sharing the harvest. We grow plants for food, as well as fiber- and dye-making, but we don’t designate plots for individuals or families. Instead we work together to cultivate not just a garden, but also a community.
Through our projects, events and close relationship with Christopher House, the Corner Farm serves as a meeting place, classroom and outdoor laboratory. This experimental approach allows us to learn by doing, and build on our successes. Our garden grows with the inspiration and ideas of everyone involved.
