Urban Till - Unlimited Growth

Urban Till is dedicated to being on the leading edge of the food supply evolution and changing the way people and businesses get their produce. We plan to transform derelict urban properties into productive vertical green spaces capable of providing high quality, and hard to find produce. We will accomplish this goal using a sustainable business model that focuses on efficiency, research and development, and continual improvements. We plan on moving into a 17,000 square foot facility on the west side of Chicago in March. We have 300 plants ready to go into production including the world’s hottest peppers and world’s sweetest plant. Rocket Hub funds are earmarked to purchase the equipment for our initial planting of 300 plants. The More we raise the more plants we can set up at the beggining. Help us grow!
