Tour: The Plant

Hello all! Serena here. I'll be touring The Plant in Chicago's Back of the Yards neighborhood this weekend as part of its regular weekly tours (1-hour duration). It costs $10, and advance registration is recommended, because tours fill up. Never heard of The Plant? Here's its spiel:

### The Plant is a research and production facility comprising a collaborative community of small food businesses.

A repurposed industrial meatpacking facility, The Plant now serves as a living laboratory that demonstrates techniques for reimagining waste as a resource, achieving economies of scale and incubating small businesses. The goal of The Plant is to create replicable models for efficiencies that close loops of waste and energy and to encourage others to implement these techniques to combat climate change.

Dreamy, right? Join me!

PS Two optional additions: I'll likely...

• Stay for the Whiner Beer Co. tour directly after as well and
• Bike down from the Northwest side (Irving Park area) starting at 12:30.
  Message me if you'd like to join for the latter. No need on the former.
