Lawn Gone Food Farm

Lawn Gone Food Farm A micro urban farm on the Eastside of Detroit producing healthy, high-quality, sustainably-grown fruits and vegetables IN the city, FOR the city.

11/18/2020

On October 23, we closed on the sale of our home/farm where we have lived and farmed in Detroit for the past 3 years.

I am so grateful for the 3 years I was given to nurture the land, to grow food, and to build community with my neighbors. It's been a joy to feed people, to host children/families on the farm, and to share the bounty of the Earth with others. Farming involves physical tasks, and for me, it is a spiritual practice. This year of the pandemic, the weekly Farmstand gave me an opportunity to provide my neighbors with good, healthy food and a place to see and check in with one another (all while masked and physically distanced.) A lot of love went into cultivating this farm - and equal amounts were returned to me. Thanks everyone who made this such a beautiful journey!

I don't want to close this page because I don't want to lose all these posts and pictures. I will be changing the name of the page, though I don't have a new name yet. I remain committed to farming, food justice, and food and faith, so perhaps this will be the place to continue to document that journey. We'll wait and see what emerges.

Reminder:
There will be no Farmstand this Tuesday, September 22 as we're letting the veggies grow a little longer.

See you next week, September 29.

Meanwhile, you can watch how we share the garden with all God's critters. This one won't eat much.

Facebook reminded me that it was three years ago that we got the keys to our new home. On that same day I dug soil samples to send off for testing. The soil was (and is) excellent for farming. I waved goodbye to the lawn, and now for the third summer, have been feeding our family, our neighbors and people all over Detroit fresh, healthy food grown using organic practices.

Thanks to everyone who has supported the farm these past few years.

Farmstand tomorrow, Tuesday, September 1, 5:30 - 7:00 p.m. Wow! We're already moving into fall.

This week we continue with the transition on the farm from summer to fall crops. Several weeks ago we planted spinach, lettuce, arugula, beets, carrots, radishes, and salad turnips. All are growing well and we're harvesting small amounts. We'll soon have new green beans too. And we still have lots of tomatoes and limited amounts of yellow squash, cukes, eggplant, and peppers. Fall crops will be coming in more abundantly soon.

These farms grow using only organic practices. Thank you, Central Detroit Christian CDC, for providing some eggplant this week.
