Mad Farmer Tour Brings National Spotlight to Chicago Block Leaders Reclaiming Soil and Community
Rezul News/10701669
DENVER, May 9, 2025 ~ Chicago, IL - This Saturday, Tractor Beverage Company will be bringing its national Mad Farmer Tour to the city, honoring two grassroots leaders who have transformed vacant lots into thriving community gardens. Dianne Hodges of South Merrill Community Garden in South Shore and Patty Carillo of Jardin de las Rosas in Humboldt Park will each receive a $5,000 community grant as part of a $20,000 investment in South and West Side gardens.
The Mad Farmer Tour is an ongoing commitment by Tractor Beverage Company to uplift food system changemakers who are making a positive impact in their communities. Inspired by Wendell Berry's iconic poem, the tour celebrates farmers, organizers, and everyday changemakers who are reimagining what is possible in their neighborhoods. With stops across the country, the tour aims to celebrate and support those who "walk contrary to their times."
According to Jahmal Cole, Founder & CEO of My Block, My Hood, My City - an organization that activates thousands of volunteers across Chicago each year - the gardens created by Hodges and Carillo serve as oases that not only interrupt trauma but also replace it with hope and possibility. He states that these gardens create a ripple effect of change that extends far beyond just their immediate communities.
