Description

We believe that challenges unique to the Michigan community (e.g., vacant land, poor diet, nutritional illiteracy, and food insecurity) present a unique opportunity for community-supported agriculture. Using agriculture as a platform to promote education, sustainability, and community--while simultaneously reducing socioeconomic disparity--we hope to empower urban communities.

We are hosting formal workdays every Saturday during the Summer of 2013!
No need to sign-up, just show up!
All ages, group sizes, and abilities welcome!

If you would like to schedule a workday with us outside of our Saturday Workdays, then please contact:

I have volunteered with my student community service groups on several occasions. It is amazing to see what a difference you can make in just a few hours. My students were inspired and always want to return. We are ready for Spring service now!
