If you’ve ever wondered how your meal makes it onto the plate before entering your stomach, now’s your chance to see what really goes on behind the scenes of food production with the Metropolitan Farms Triplet Farm Tour on Goldstar. Nestled just six miles west of the Magnificent Mile in a manufacturing district in Garfield Park, Metropolitan Farms is a thriving agricultural operation, producing locally-sourced tilapia, salad greens and culinary herbs year-round from within its state-of-the-art greenhouse. During this 90-minute tour with the farm’s founder, you’ll explore the outdoor grounds, the cut-flower farm of Avium Flowers and Dirt Doll’s vegetable farm. Plus, you’ll learn about the farm’s fascinating aquaponic system, which combines fish farming and a hydroponic growing system in a closed-loop facility without the use of synthetic pesticides or fertilizers.
