Keep Growing Detroit

Keep Growing Detroit (KGD) is cultivating a food sovereign city where the majority of fruits and vegetables consumed by Detroiters are grown by residents within the city's limits. KGD's strategic approach to achieving our mission includes work that fosters relationships to food, grows the knowledge of food and farming, builds leadership skills and capacity within Detroit’s urban agriculture community, and changes the value of food while developing community assets. To these ends, our organization operates a number of nationally-recognized programs, including the Garden Resource Program (GRP), which supports a network of more than 2,700 urban gardens and farms, and Grown in Detroit (GID), and which provides urban gardeners with opportunities to sell the fruits and vegetables they grow at local market outlets. We also operate the KGD Farm, a 1.38-acre urban farm and teaching facility located in Detroit’s Historic Eastern Market District.
