Rooted in Detroit, Featherstone Garden is a passionate endeavor founded in 2018 with a dedication to land stewardship and the year-round cultivation of nutrient-dense produce for both neighbors and local restaurants. Operating as an organic garden, Featherstone employs intercropping techniques that weave together vegetables, herbs, flowers, algae, and fungi as companion plants, fostering soil health and supporting beneficial insects. This approach contributes to the development of a sustainable urban ecosystem in the heart of Detroit. Beyond farming, Featherstone Garden actively engages the community by facilitating educational opportunities. In a commitment to both the local ecosystem and animal welfare, Featherstone Garden also takes on the responsibility of managing the outdoor cat population in its neighborhood, providing care, feeding, and support for spaying/neutering efforts to ensure the well-being of feline friends in the area. 

Apprentices at Featherstone Garden will actively be involved in bed preparation, seeding, watering, transplanting, weeding, companion planting, and the implementation of all-natural pest control measures. Apprentices will play a pivotal role in the harvesting process, including order preparation and packaging, and contribute to flower bouquet harvesting and arrangements. Beyond fieldwork, apprentices will gain experience in farm stand operations, event coordination, community education facilitation, and can contribute to the farm's newsletter and recipe blog.

Featherstone Garden boasts two vibrant and biodiverse urban gardens, each with its unique charm and purpose. The MorningSide garden, nestled in the serene MorningSide neighborhood, spans 0.3 acres and has been a labor of love since 2020. This urban oasis includes a hoophouse, outdoor raised beds teeming with heirloom veggies and flowers, and is complemented by a weekly farmstand and community events hosted in the neighboring park. In bustling Downtown Detroit, Featherstone's second 1.5-acre garden overlooks the skyline, featuring two heated greenhouses, a mushroom-grow shipping container, and a half acre of garden space flourishing with veggies and flowers. Known for specialty produce like heirloom tomatoes, peppers, mushrooms and squash, Featherstone also offers an array of artisanal products such as honey, herb salt, mushroom salt, and cut flower bouquets. A small outdoor picnic and event space adds to the charm, creating a dynamic urban farm environment.
