"According to a report sponsored by the Michigan Association of United Ways, about 69 percent of Detroit households surveyed find it difficult to afford the basic cost of living, including food. This is compounded by the fact that 39,000 Detroit households spend more than half of their income on housing alone."
"Brezzell said the farm and design firm's mission is to be a resource to the community, helping Detroiters achieve food sovereignty by providing fresh, accessible food, some at no cost."
"Brezell said they believe urban farming is important for their neighbors' health and well-being, and hopes Fennigan's Farms becomes a community hub to accomplish just that."
