Our aim is to serve flavorful, artisanal
food grown responsibly by people we know. We all live off the land, even if we
are not farmers or growers. It is essential for us to respect our relationships
not only with the people who grow our food, but with the soil that nurtures it. When
we say ''local agriculture,'' we are not always talking about farms beyond the
Chicago city limits. Urban agriculture is a growing section of local food
production. We produce many of our own greens in the Bayless Family Garden right
here in Chicago.
