The Going Green Foundation is committed
to operating a local “Community Farm” to provide food that is
grown within a reasonable distance from where it is eaten. This
concept ensures that the food is delivered and consumed fresh by
low income residents who lack other resources for fresh foods.
This Community Farm will be a key resource to ensuring economic,
environmental, and social and community sustainability by
providing immediate access to foods that can be used to sustain
the community. This Community Farm will also produce a seasonal
“Farmers Market” and establish and facilitate a “Food to
Cafeteria” program in collaboration with the local school
district.
The Going Green
Foundation is the process of developing 2.5 acres of land into a
fully sustainable organic Farm, which will provide the
community, its schools, low-income families and seniors with
healthy fresh foods. This project will be located in the City of
Dearborn, Michigan but will have the capacity to services the
following nearby communities: Inkster, Dearborn, (South West)
Detroit, Romulus, Wayne and Ecorse.
The Going Green Foundation (TGGF) –
Founded in 2009 this organization was organized to support,
raise awareness of and encourage eco- friendly and
sustainability projects in our community and others in the areas
of education and outreach, advocacy and public health while
building and enhancing green economies and infrastructures. TGGF
has demonstrated experience in the area of managing a small
farm/garden, producing and distributing healthy foods to low
income people in the surrounding community and a clear desire to
share information with researchers, evaluators, practitioners,
and other interest parties. The foundation has developed a
strategic plan designed to impact our planet in a 'clean' way by
supporting direct action, raising public awareness and nurturing
grassroots initiatives meeting local needs. "The Going Green
Foundation's vision is to support environmentally friendly
projects, causes, entrepreneurs and activists worldwide.
Please support our efforts by purchasing
a brick that will be personalized and engraved and help raise
money for The Crowley Park Sustainable Organic Farm. The end
result will be an everlasting tribute from you to our
organization that will help us commemorate your contribution to
our efforts. The pavers will be placed at the Entranceway of the
Farm and along the paths between our raised beds that are
available for the community at no cost. This would be a great
way to commemorate someone you love, your business or
organization!
