Meraki Urban Farm is an urban vertical farm in Chicago dedicated to growing fresh, nutrient-packed Microgreens and promoting sustainable living. We believe in the power of locally grown food to inspire healthier lifestyles and stronger communities. Through our Microgreens, DIY grow kits, and educational outreach, we make it easy to enjoy fresh, sustainable produce year-round.
