City Commons

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

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. 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.

Lock in your veggie prices for the season by purchasing a CSA share from us!

It's not that our small scale farms are wholly unaffected by global events (we have to purchase supplies, order compost deliveries, and transport our products around town as well)- but we don't buy chemically produced fertilizer and your veggies aren't being trucked from across the country.

Support our farms and get great local grown veggies by signing up for a CSA share today!

The latest data on producer prices from the Bureau of Labor Statistics showed an almost 49% rise in the price of vegetables last month.
