Local Composting and Farm Fresh Produce

Chicago’s longest running and highest rated composting and CSA delivery service.

The Urban Canopy is working 
to create a more sustainable, nutritious, and equitable 
local food cycle.

Local Unified CSA Delivered Weekly

What started as a public school project is now a two-acre farm and a point of view about how food should be grown within Chicago. Our Local Unified Community Supported Agriculture program, or LUCSA for short, is a membership service that sources fresh produce from a diverse range of local growers, delivered straight to your door weekly or bi-weekly.

100% Electric fleet!

We started small, re-using old vehicles from auctions and junkyards, some had over 500K miles on them! Thanks to the patronage from our members over the past few years we have been able to convert the majority of our vehicles over to 100% electric trucks ensuring our work further fits into our environmental vision.
