About Our Farms
Our farms range in size, style and what we grow, but all are committed to safe and sustainable practices to build a healthy local food economy and a food sovereign Detroit. We do not use any synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides or GMO crops, and all our land is soil tested to ensure no contamination.
Fields of Plenty

CWO Farms
This is Mark & Candi. Together, they are known as CornWineOil Farms. They’ve been on the Detroit Urban Farming scape since 2015, and they look forward to another season of providing high quality organically grown produce for City Commons clients and a host of others.
Sanctuary Farms
Sanctuary Farms has three clear objectives:
1) cultivate organic produce,
2) create nutritious compost and
3) provide equitable green spaces to historically disadvantaged communities.
With these aims we want to foster a thriving community on the lower eastside of Detroit where people are safe, healthy and connected to their local environment and food.
