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.

You can still join City Commons and support local farms this season, by signing up for a Half-season share, Storage share, or November-Bonus share!

Half-Season shares are available now, while they last! If you weren’t able to sign up at the start of the season, now is your chance to get a weekly box of Detroit-grown produce, through October 31st.

If you’re looking to extend the local produce bounty into the Fall and Winter, you can sign up for a Storage Share. This is an extra big box of items that store well through the colder months- things like garlic, potatoes, sweet potatoes, carrots, onions, tea blends, herbs, squash, ect.

If you’d like to add locally grown produce to your holiday cooking (or just create some amazing autumnal meals for yourself) you can sign up for the November Bonus share. This is a triple-sized box filled with things like salad greens, beets, carrots, celeriac, green beans, cooking greens, ect.
