Come support our Youth Farm Stand at the Grown in Detroit table in Shed 2 at Eastern Market!
Welcome
As a society, we have become dangerously disconnected from the land and the sources of food that sustain life. We have detached ourselves from the real source of wealth - a respectful and reverent relationship with the land.
In 1997, Brother Rick Samyn felt a calling to start a garden at his
workplace, the Capuchin Soup Kitchen. The response was overwhelming and
positive. That small plot of land grew into what is our Urban Farm
project today.
Earthworks Urban Farm seeks to restore our connection to the environment
and community in keeping with the tradition of our spiritual patron, St.
Francis. It is a working study in social justice and in knowing the
origin of the food we eat
This project relies on the gracious donations of time from volunteers
and materials from sponsors. Neighbors and friends of all ages, incomes
and faiths join us in our work. We hope that you will visit us and see
what a special project Earthworks Urban Farm has become.
