Excerpt:
Urban farming is a growing trend across part of Michigan and the country, and contributes 15% to 20% of the world’s food supply, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
Self-sustainability is a major driver of the efforts, local farmers and the USDA said, but there are plenty of other factors driving growth. Among them: As grocery store prices soar, people are looking for other avenues to obtain fresh, organic produce and vegetables. Additionally, local farmers said they see growing produce as a way to give back to their communities and strengthening the bonds they have with their neighbors.

And I was losing money more than making money, especially in the wintertime because by the time people got their plants, they were frozen… So, I made a pivot at the end of 2022.”
