Come hear from Mike Score, President of Hantz Farms, Detroit's Community Farm! Metro Detroit has become a leader in the developing field of urban farming. Initially devised as a way to feed depressed neighborhoods poorest residents, these farms have developed into small business enterprises and have benefited from the renewed interest in buying local and reducing dependence on imported products. Hantz Farms has far greater ambitions.
