Our Story

At DuSable City Botanical Farms, farming is more than a livelihood — it’s a family tradition deeply rooted in the heart of Chicago. Since 2009, our family of urban farmers has been growing fresh, healthy crops for our community. What started with conventional farming has evolved into a passionate focus on medicinal plants and holistic wellness.

As a family business, we are proud to be made up of six children, most of whom began farming at a very young age. Over the years, farming has not only connected us to the land but also to each other, building a legacy of stewardship, knowledge, and care that we now share with our customers.

Today, DuSable City Botanical Farms is based in Englewood, where our land is thriving with Elderberry trees — a powerful symbol of healing and resilience — along with a variety of other medicinal herbs and plants. Our mission is to provide natural, health-supporting products while honoring the traditions of urban agriculture and herbal medicine.

We are proud to continue serving our community through sustainable farming practices, educational outreach, and by offering high-quality elderberries, tinctures, and other plant-based wellness products. At DuSable City Botanical Farms, every harvest is a labor of love, a celebration of family, and a step toward a healthier future for all.
