The City of Detroit has given permission to Hantz Farms to purchase 20 small parcels of land on Detroit’s east side for a demonstration farming project.
The agreement bars Hantz Farms from selling any products to the public. Michael Score, president of Hantz Farms, said the organization was pleased to be taking this step forward.
“We believe that this acquisition provides us with the opportunity to demonstrate what we can do to restore and beautify abandoned property. While the acquisition of this site is just the beginning, it is a milestone, and we look forward to ‘getting in the ground.’”
The parcels are located near Hantz Farms’ offices at 17403 Mt. Elliott.
