D-Town Farm Proudly Presents: The 18th Annual Harvest Festival: New Leadership & Renewed Commitment.

Whatupdoe? D-Town Farms, a cornerstone of the Detroit Black Community Food Sovereignty Network (DBCFSN), is thrilled to announce the 18th Annual Harvest Festival, a joyous celebration of community, food, culture, and empowerment. This year's event welcomes new co-Executive Directors Gi'Anna Cheairs and Dr. shakara tyler, ushering in a new era of leadership and dedication.
A Festival of Transformation:
This is more than a festival; it's a movement. Experience workshops, hands-on activities, live music, and a vibrant atmosphere that reflects the soul of sustainable food systems and community power.

Highlights:

● Healing Tent: Partnering with Alkebulan Village, this unique space will

feature the ADS Collective (acu-detox specialists continuing the work of Dr.

Mutulu Shakur and the Young Lords) and Deep Breaths and Heal (offering

yoga, meditation, and sound healing).

● Food & Fun: Savor delicious food, refreshing beverages, Upbeat live music

that will move your soul, and fun activities for all ages, including horseback

rides.

● Knowledge & Empowerment: Engage in workshops on sustainable

agriculture and healthy eating, and hear informative presentations by local

and global food justice leaders.

Building on a Legacy:
The festival showcases DBCFSN's transformative programs,

including Food Warriors (which empowers children with food justice knowledge)

and Food N' Flava (which cultivates leadership and entrepreneurial skills in teens).

D-Town Farm: This thriving 7-acre urban farm uses innovative techniques like hoop

houses, rainwater retention, and beekeeping to grow nutrient-dense food, extend

growing seasons, and train community members.
