SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITY FARMS

 MISSION: To improve the quality of fresh locally grown food in the city of Detroit, by growing chemical free produces to enhance a healthier lifestyle through multi -levels  trainings.

FEED DETROIT

Feed Detroit is a grassroots initiative to install durable, metal raised garden beds in our neighborhoods, turning underutilized spaces into thriving sources of fresh produce and community pride.

To combat food insecurity by empowering communities to grow their own food. With every raised bed we install, we’re creating access, opportunity, and nourishment.

🍅 How It Works:

We’re raising funds to build and maintain metal raised beds. These beds will be filled with nutrient-rich soil and planted with seasonal vegetables, herbs, and fruits. Local volunteers and residents will help tend the gardens — and here’s the best part:

40% of everything grown goes directly to the community, free of charge, to support families facing food insecurity. 

Why It Matters:
Detroit has long struggled with food deserts and limited access to fresh produce. Feed Detroit is a sustainable, community-driven response — one that builds resilience, fosters connection, and puts healthy food on the table.
