...to a fully organic urban foodsouce for the Crowley Park Community, local pre-schools & schools, low income, the elderly, and anyone willing to help farm the land.
Crowley Park Sustainable Farm - "The Entrance Way" Through the generousity of City of Dearborn, Mayor John C. O'Rielly, the Dearborn City Council, and with the help of John Cascardo, TheGoingGreenFoundation.org now has to 2.5 acres of land to develop a Sustainable Organic Farm at Crowley Park in Dearborn, Michigan. TheGoingGreenFoundation.org, with the help of sustainable landscape architect Tom Vanderworp, developed a 3 phase plan that will provide the community with a sustainable organic farm and low cost or free organic produce. The farm will serve to educate and feed the community for many generations. It is our hope that this pilot urban farm inspires other communities to join us in our efforts towards a sustainable future. Our goal is to make this process repeatable so that other communities can accomplish the same thing. We will be documenting and sharing everything we learn along the way, so check back often or contact us. Next up? The 3 Phase Plan...
