Alyssa Alcordo

Alyssa Alcordo (she/her) is a passionate organic farmer and grower for Urban Growers Collective. She has been working with the land through vegetable farming since 2020. With experience in urban, rural, and aquaponic farming, she has pinpointed her passion for feeding people healthy, high energy vegetables and growing beautiful flowers.

She earned her BA in Environmental Studies from Loyola University Chicago with focus on Sustainable Agriculture and Local Food Systems, but she is continually learning through other farmers, new tools/methods and of course, all of Mother Nature’s lessons of the land. She finds joy in traveling, sharing food with friends-new and old, snowboarding, slack-lining and doing a lot of yoga.
