Chicago Emory alumni didn't have to travel far experience life on a farm. They gathered at City Farm, an urban farm among the skyscrapers, for Chicago Emory Cares Day, Saturday, October 30.

Reaping the fruits of their long day of labor, Emory volunteers, led by Lindsey Whitlock 08B, tasted organic cherry tomatoes fresh off the vine after weeding and tilling the soil. They said those tomatoes packed a lot more flavor than the store-bought ones.
