About Us

Cadillac Urban Gardens’ mission is to create equitable access to culturally relevant foods by fostering multigenerational knowledge and leadership in Detroit. 

We do this at the intersection of 3 goals: 

1. Provide a space for communities to come together to grow produce and promote food sovereignty;

2. Create placed based intergenerational learning and empowerment opportunities including but not limited to activities, programs, employment, and services; 

3. Serve as a research-driven and data-informed living learning laboratory.
