Oakland Avenue Urban Farm
Oakland Avenue Urban Farm, located in Detroit's historic North End, has been a stabilizing force for over a decade, focusing on cultivating healthy foods, creating jobs, and fostering active cultural spaces. As a workforce development project of the North End Christian Community Development Corporation, the Farm aims to benefit the neighborhood through sustainable agricultural practices and community engagement.
The Farm operates a seasonal Saturday market, offers educational programs for youth, and has initiated various projects such as the Detroit Cultivator Community Land Trust and the Black Farmers Land Fund to support local farmers and combat gentrification. Additionally, Oakland Avenue Urban Farm has played a crucial role in emergency food distribution and food security initiatives, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic, ensuring access to nutritious food for vulnerable residents.
