I've seen on the news recently that in other cities, citizens of neighborhoods have started planting gardens and growing produce in empty lots. It's much cheaper than buying produce from a store and makes use of the land. And you know pretty much where your food is coming from and hopefully what kinds of pesticides were used on it. So, what neighborhoods in Detroit are doing this? Just curious. | ||

Woodbridge Farms! I have friends in Corktown who keep chickens and goats in their back yard, along with a nice garden. Now tell me, in what other city can you keep chickens and goats within 10 blocks of a major city landmark? | ||
