SUMMARY:Food Field: A Four-acre Detroit Urban Farm
DESCRIPTION:
 Located between Boston-Edison and Highland Park 
 since May 2011, Food Field  has harvested thousands 
 of pounds of organic produce, built 
 relationships with local chefs and neighbors, 
 raised a hoop house for year-round growing, 
 hired local teens, planted an orchard (apples, 
 pears, cherries, plums, chestnuts, paw paws), 
 started a flock of egg-laying chickens and 
 ducks, and installed a 7,000-gallon aquaponics 
 system raising catfish and blue gill.  Food 
 Field's goal is a sustainable organic farm, 
 feeding Detroit, and creating a real alternative 
 to the corporate food system, while bringing 
 jobs, resources and benefits to the Detroit 
 community. \n
 Alex Bryan, Greater Lansing 
 Food Bank Garden Project Program Manager AND 
 Food Field co-owner with Noah Link will introduce 
 you to his and Noah's unique farm.\n
