Keep Growing Detroit (KGD) is a Michigan-based nonprofit organization focused on building a broad, citywide network of community gardens and farms in Detroit, Hamtramck, and Highland Park. Its mission centers on food sovereignty, aiming for a community where Detroiters grow the majority of the fruits and vegetables consumed locally, while fostering power, resilience, and belonging. The organization supports gardeners at all levels through programs like the Garden Resource Program, which provides seeds, plants, compost, tools, and hands-on assistance, as well as site visits, workdays, and workshops to help new and existing gardens thrive. It also helps aspiring growers transition to market-ready ventures through Grown in Detroit, offering mentorship, training, and marketing guidance. The KGD Farm in the Eastern Market serves as a 1.38-acre hub for production, education, and community events, and its education initiatives span from early childhood gardening to youth apprenticeships and cultural foodways gatherings. Through these programs, KGD coordinates a large-scale, equity-centered network focused on sustainable food production and community connection for generations to come.
