An Urban Growers Cooperative in Ypsilanti, MI
The Ypsilanti Growers Cooperative is a collective venture launched in the late summer of 2011 by Ypsilanti growers, local food advocates, and Growing Hope, Inc. Its mission is to grow and sell healthy foods using organic methods in and around the urban heart of Ypsilanti. In the process we hope to achieve the goals of shared labor and support, self-empowerment, and sustainable business by building a resilient community food system and a deeper connection to the land.
