City Commons

City Commons is a cooperative of Detroit farms raising food with common resources for common people in Metro Detroit.

Commons is a cooperative urban CSA; the produce you receive is all grown in Detroit at six market gardens located throughout the city. The food you receive each week hasbeen grown using sustainable methods, meaning that we do not use synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. Produce for City Commons CSA is grown by many farmers: Chris McGrane grows food on the east side of Detroit. Ryan Harroun and Elizabeth Phillips found their shared passion for farming along myriad paths and have teamed up to run Vinewood Knoll Farm in Southwest Detroit. Alice Bagley spent four years running a farm in eastern Washington and now runs Fields of Plenty where she moves her plants and produce all over Detroit by bicycle. Emily and Meg have traveled the world in search of good eats, only to find that they can grow the freshest food right in their own neighborhood at Singing Tree Garden, uptown Detroit. Minehaha Forman was raised on a subsistence farm in Belize, Central America and feels right at home farming in Detroit. Noah Link and Alex Bryan grow vegetables, fruit, poultry, fish, honeybees and more at Food Field near historic Boston-Edison.

It is that time of year again! We will be this Saturday selling transplants (mostly tomatoes but some other goodies too). Stop by to say hi and pick up some plants.

As we often say, the great secret of our CSA is that we are a cooperative and that means you are supporting several farms. We also have several pick up locations! One of our favorites is Someday Brewing in Grosse Pointe Woods. They make *award winning* beer and have some of the friendliest bartenders around. If going to pick up your veggies on a Friday evening, grabbing a pint (and/or a few to go), and hanging out with friends sounds good to you. Sign up for our CSA today and choose Someday Brewing as your pick up location.

Getting kale started in the basement under grow lights, even while there is still a little ice in the soil outside. One of the many ways we get a head start on the growing season.

If you want to get a headstart on the farm season as an eater, be sure to sign up for a City Commons CSA share!

Our Story

Community Supported Agriculture is a fantastic way for people who care about local food, sustainable agriculture and revitalizing the local economy to get directly involved in making it a reality. CSA members support the farms by buying seasonal “shares” that provide them with vegetables and other farm products. Members receive boxes of farm fresh goodies every week during the growing season. City Commons is a cooperative urban CSA; the produce you receive is all grown in Detroit at six market gardens located throughout the city. The food you receive each week hasbeen grown using sustainable methods, meaning that we do not use synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. Produce for City Commons CSA is grown by many farmers: Chris McGrane grows food on the east side of Detroit. Elizabeth Phillips found her passion for farming along myriad paths and is now growing at Iroquois Ave Farm on the east side of Detroit . Alice Bagley spent four years running a farm in eastern Washington and now runs Fields of Plenty where she moves her plants and produce all over Detroit by bicycle. Emily Brent has traveled the world in search of good eats, only to find that they can grow the freshest food right in their own neighborhood at Singing Tree Garden, uptown Detroit. Noah Link and Nick Jones grow vegetables, fruit, poultry, fish, honeybees and more at Food Field near historic Boston-Edison. Donnie and Roxanne Jones grew up in Detroit and farm together on the east side. Donnie advanced quickly from helping at Food Field to founding his own farm at Robinwood Park in 2012. Roxanne brings plenty of experience and herbal knowledge from years at Earthworks Urban Farm.
