The Green Earth Institute is a nonprofit organization established in 2002
to promote nutritional health and environmental sustainability. Using our organic
farm as a demonstration and learning center, we grow healthful vegetables in
an earth-friendly way and educate about nature, nutrition, and caring for the
earth.
On our 60 acre farm located in south Naperville, Illinois, a suburb 35 miles
west of downtown Chicago, we grow over 40 crops of nutritious, delicious organic
vegetables, and sell them through our community-supported agriculture (CSA)
program. For children we offer gardening and nature appreciation programs, and
for adults we offer information and instruction about nutrition and environmentally
sustainable practices for home, yard, and garden.
