About the Garden: (From Global Garden Refugee Training Farm on Facebook)
100 families from Bhutan, Burma, Africa, and elsewhere have turned a vacant lot into a farm where they grow organic vegetables for home consumption and for selling to neighbors in Albany Park and surrounding communities.

The mission of Global Gardens Refugee Training Farm is to improve access to fresh vegetables for newly arrived refugee families and their urban neighbors; feed the souls of displaced farmers through re-connection with the soil and food production; provide supplemental income for participating refugee farmers; and foster new, refugee-operated farms
