The Michigan Urban Farming Initiative (MUFI)

This is America´s first Urban “Agrihood” in Detroit. It feeds 2,000 households for free from this three-acre garden and has a fruit orchard with 200 trees. It also has a sensory garden for kids.

“Over the last four years, we’ve grown from an urban garden that provides fresh produce for our residents to a diverse, agricultural campus that has helped sustain the neighborhood, attracted new residents and area investment,” said Tyson Gersh, MUFI president and co-founder.
