Beneficiary

Proceeds from Barn Dance will directly benefit Smart Farm at Advocate Good Shepherd Hospital. Last year alone, Smart Farm grew over 19,000 pounds of fresh produce — the equivalent of 16,000 meals — all distributed to our community. Our mission is to provide high-quality produce to those who need it most, while also offering education on sustainable farming and healthy eating.

We're committed to improving access to fresh, healthy food and are tackling food insecurity head-on by:

  • Donating produce to several area food pantries,
  • Partnering with Advocate’s “Food Farmacies” where patients get a prescription for healthy food, and
  • Offering voucher programs to eligible Good Shepherd patients

Thanks to last year’s Barn Dance, we expanded our capacity with critical infrastructure, including three hoop houses, a wash/pack barn, and a pole barn. With your support this year, we can grow even more. Together, we can get to the root of the problem and help prevent chronic illnesses such as diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, and stroke — conditions often linked to poor nutrition. Join us in planting the seeds for a healthier future!
