Gabriel Macias

Gabe Macias (he/him) was raised right here in South Chicago. He first began farming with Urban Growers Collective when he participated in the Youth Corps Program. After graduation, Gabe took a year off of farming and returned as a Seasonal Worker to further his agricultural knowledge, and find tangible ways to support his community.

Gabe is passionate about teaching people about the food and herbs UGC grows, the power of nature, and healthy eating. He also stewards the livestock on the farm, and thinks it’s exciting to teach people about the unique farm culture.

In his free time, Gabe enjoys listening to Juice WRLD while playing video games, studying biology, and being taught by his wise coworkers.
