Our Mission
To support Flint residents in growing and accessing healthy food in order to reconnect with the land and each other.
Please join us for an open house as we honor Deb Hamilton for her work upon her retirement.
For the last 9 years, Deb Hamilton has been the Garden Starters Coordinator and a key team member for Edible Flint. She has organized the sales of Garden Starters Kits and Services, helped to plan and execute the Annual Food Garden Tour, and completed all kinds of tasks as a part of the team of volunteers and partners at Edible Flint. She has often been the only employee of this small non-profit collaboration that is seeking to make change in the food system in Flint.
Just as we plant seeds, nuture them, tend to plants, and eventually gather the harvest, so too has Deb planted many seeds- both literal and figurative - and harvested of much of our progress during her time with Edible Flint.
We hope you are able to join us for this celebration of a humble and hardworking friend on Thursday August 29, 2019 from 4pm-6pm at MSU Extension, 605 N. Saginaw STreet, Flint, MI 48502.
