What We’re Growing KGD FARM COMMUNITY SUPPORTED AGRICULTURE (CSA) PROGRAMS Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) programs support small-scale farms and strengthen local food systems by encouraging consumers to buy local, seasonal food directly from farmers. Interested consumers purchase a share and in return, receive seasonal produce throughout the specified season. This fall KGD is offering a 8-week program with weekly pick-ups at the KGD Farm as well as full and half Thanksgiving Shares, which can be picked up at Eastern Market’s Thanksgiving Market on November 26th.

GROWN TO ORDER NATIVE PLANTS Keep Growing Detroit grows limited quantities of Michigan native plants for our partners and the growers we serve. Why Native plants? Because they are low-maintenance and beautiful and they provide critical habitat for butterflies, hummingbirds, songbirds, and beneficial insects. Most importantly, native plants protect fresh water by helping to manage stormwater and stabilize soil. We’re hosting a Native Perennial Plant Sale in August.
