Where food grows, communities grow. We help you make that possible.

We design, build, and operate urban agriculture systems that bring fresh produce, youth opportunity, and measurable ESG impact into the heart of your organization.

We turn spaces into food-growing, community-strengthening assets.

Freight to Plate® is a Chicago-based, women-owned consultancy and farm operations team specializing in urban agriculture for youth programs, nonprofits, developers, and mission-driven institutions.

Born from two sisters’ growth journeys and a belief that food can rebuild communities, we’ve spent the last five years helping partners launch hyperlocal food systems that deliver fresh produce, create learning opportunities, and unlock long-term impact.

We don’t just build farms—we build programs, partnerships, and possibility.

How It Works

Imagine → Design → Activate

Imagine

We begin by listening to your goals. Whether you're focused on food access, youth development, tenant experience, or ESG outcomes. Together, we outline what a hyperlocal food system could look like for your site and your community.

Design

We develop a clear, actionable plan for your project. From equipment selection, permitting pathways, site layouts, and programming concepts to grant strategy and budget modeling, our team designs a roadmap that prepares your farm for a successful launch.

Activate

We manage the full implementation and ongoing support of your farm. This includes coordinating vendors and trades, commissioning systems, training teams, establishing crop cycles, and supporting youth and community programming all the way through your first harvest and beyond.
