Greg Willerer is "Brother Nature Farm" in Corktown, Detroit. This is a rough cut of a feature story on Greg and the urban farming movement in Detroit. Urban agriculture is one of the keystones of resilience in cities, and in Detroit it might just remake the city's economy.

Greg is an incredibly accommodating and informative farm owner, I volunteered down here late in the season and intend to do so next year!

Be honest, it never recovered from 1967. A humongous price to pay. I hope it was worth it.

@ratleaf Scratch "awesome," replace with "brilliant.

This is awesome. I'd like to see this sort of thing happen in Flint.
If they give all their food to the food bank, how does Earthworks make money?

Wow!! I think this is amazing and just what Detroit needs. Keep up the great work!!!

My grandmother spent much of her childhood with her grandparents on Vermont Street. She spoke about learning to roller skate there, with an aunt holding each arm while she bumped over the boards on the wooden sidewalks. My grandparents stopped crossing over from Windsor after 1967, and I never thought much about Detroit until "Detroit in Ruins" was published. This is a fascinating window into what's blooming in the ruins ... thanks for sharing.
