Detroit’s North End resident wants urban farms to connect with neighbors who don’t know they exist
Catherine Kurth has watched Detroit’s urban farming scene grow for years. Now living in North End, she’s focused on bridging the gap between community gardens and the neighbors who don’t know they can access them.

Excerpt:
The food these urban farms are growing is destined for a CSA, a block club, or a restaurant. The kind of news coverage for that, as far as I’m aware, kind of fell off. And I think that it fell off because of COVID, and I think we should change that.
People seem to be aware that urban farms are there, but do not really feel like they’re for them. That kind of manifests as people not knowing that they can take up this space, to be empowered, to engage with these things that are happening in their neighborhood.
There are people who have lived in the North End their entire lives, are urban farmers, and are part of community-supported agriculture (CSAs), but their neighbors three blocks away don’t know the first thing about it. But maybe the person who lives next door to that neighbor three blocks away does.
The bridge between those people and these activities is something that I have definitely seen the most in the North End.
