SEED Wayne

About SEED Wayne

SEED Wayne is dedicated to building sustainable food systems on the campus of Wayne State University and in Detroit communities. 

SEED Wayne works in partnership with community-based organizations promoting food security, urban agriculture, farm-to-institution, and food and fitness planning and policy development. 

SEED Wayne embraces core university functions in teaching, research, engagement and operations. 

Student leadership is central to SEED Wayne’s success.

SEED Wayne projects are located on campus and in the community.  Browse projects here.

Our first campus projects were a vegetable and herb garden called the Warrior Demonstration Garden and a monthly farmers market called the 4th Wednesday Farmers Market.  In 2009, we will double our production area and also offer the farmers market on a weekly basis, over the growing season.  Check out our second garden, the St. Andrew's Allotment Garden.
