7TH ANNUAL CARROTS & COCKTAILS

Growing Solutions Farm

2200 W. Campbell Park Dr., Chicago IL

June 18th      5:30 – 7:30 PM

 

Align your brand with work that is local, visible, and creating measurable outcomes.

Carrots & Cocktails is an invitation to step into the work of Urban Autism Solutions — where young adults with autism and related disabilities build real-world skills that lead to employment and greater independence.

Through our program at Growing Solutions Farm, a 1.2 acre urban farm located in the Illinois Medical District, students gain hands-on experience growing, harvesting,and preparing produce for sale. They build job-readiness skills, confidence, and the workplacehabits needed for employment.

As part of that work, students bring fresh, healthy produce home to families facing food insecurity, extending the impact beyond the farm.

ABOUT THE EVENT

Carrots & Cocktails is Urban Autism Solutions’ signature event at Growing Solutions Farm – bringing people together in the very place where young adults with autism build transferable job skills and greater independence.

With over 250 guests, the evening includes:

  • Handcrafted cocktails and seasonal bites sourced from the farm
  • Live music and student-led farm tours
  • A farm stand with fresh produce, grown and harvested by participants
  • Engagement with students, staff, and partners who are part of a mission making a tangible difference.
