Growing Hope is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization focused on strengthening and supporting the local food system throughout the community and beyond. We own and operate a demonstration urban farm, fund and staff the Ypsilanti Farmers Markets, and facilitate programming around home and community gardening, preparing fresh, affordable local produce, and food entrepreneurship to youth and adults.

The Growing Hope Urban Farm is a community space located just outside downtown Ypsilanti where people learn about and grow fresh food. The 1.4 acre property demonstrates small-scale organic gardening methods and environmentally friendly infrastructure. Growing Hope’s main office is located in the farm house.
