CPS Farm to Community Box Program was made possible by the Food to Market
Challenge, a competition sponsored by Kinship Foundation and The Chicago
Community Trust as part of their local food initiative, Food:Land:Opportunity—
Localizing the Chicago Woodshed (www.foodlandopportunity.org). As part of the
competition, Top Box Foods, FarmLogix LLC and This Old Farm
formed to bring local, healthy food to under-resourced Chicago communities.
