Keep Growing Detroit Farm
Keep Growing Detroit
Detroit, Michigan
The Keep Growing Detroit Farm is the place where all of our work comes together. Our farm is where half of the Garden Resource Program transplants and the Motown Music garlic seed is grown. It’s where many of our workshops are hosted and where growers of all ages practice and hone their skills. It’s also where KGD grows our share of Grown in Detroit produce and connects with good food enthusiasts from Detroit and beyond to explore what fresh, seasonal, and diverse fruits and vegetables look, smell, and taste like. The Keep Growing Detroit Farm is located in the Eastern Market District of Detroit. More about this project >
