Overview
Brother Nature Produce is an urban farm in the North Corktown neighborhood run by Greg and Olivia Willerer. Greg describes his model of urban farming as one that recognizes all of the ways healthy food helps regenerate the economy. Brother Nature Produce created a process that ensures food is cut and delivered right to a farmers' market or restaurant the very same day, and provides fresh greens and herbs to many restaurants in Detroit. CSA shares are also available.
Feel free to drive by the farm to take a look, but if you wish to stop to visit, you can find them weekly during the season at the Eastern Market, or make an appointment to see them at the farm.
