Meet Terrence Glenn, farmer and proprietor of Urban Eden Organic Produce!

After twenty-five years as a creative in the advertising industry, Terrence discovered his passion for agriculture. He is a graduate of Farmers for Chicago, an agricultural grant program co-sponsored by Growing Power (now Urban Growers Collective) former Mayor Rahm Emanuel and the Chicago Park District. Terrence has leveraged his skills and experience in both traditional and indoor hydroponic growing to become a purveyor of quality greens and herbs to local grocers, restaurants and consumers. The primary goal is to provide quality, nutritious food to the local community year-round. Many communities in the Chicagoland area struggle for access to healthy food. Urban Eden embraces the social and agricultural role that farming can play in the urban setting. Part of its social responsibility is to ensure that food security is a reality for all.
