SPECIAL PROGRAMS
D-Town Farm is a world leader in urban agriculture and food sovereignty. In partnership with the State of Michigan, the City of Detroit, local growers, and our community, we are working to close Detroit’s food waste loop—while offering a vibrant Farmers Market, holistic healing vendors, and hands-on gardening and homesteading classes.
Watch Gardening Experiments with Mind & Soil’s “Circularity: Detroit’s Genius Solution to Food Waste,” a feature exploring how DBCFSN is addressing food waste through sustainable practices, community building, and powerful partnerships.
Turn Waste into Wealth: Support Detroit’s Compost Revolution
"Did you know DBCFSN is 20 years old? For our 20th Anniversary campaign, consider donating $20, $200 or $2000 to help us expand and sustain our composting work. DBCFSN is co-leading the compost work in Detroit with other amazing partners like the Detroit Office of Sustainability (OoS), FoodPLUS Detroit and many amazing farms. We need to purchase an industrial pick up truck to haul compost from the Detroit Food Commons (DFC) to D-Town Farm. Can you support our efforts in transforming our food systems?"
"Did you know waste is a lie? We can use unused food as a natural resource in starting the cycle over again. Help us repair our disconnected relationship with waste and support our organic waste diversion. Help us cultivate the real circular food economy rooted in EVERYTHING having a purpose. No waste. No toxic greenhouse gases. No contamination or pollution.
Help us build unbroken circles of food, health, sustainability and justice."
