Managed by volunteers, Growing Hope is a urban community farm, where people gather to grow their own food. Since 2003, the nonprofit organization has aided the community through local food production and education.

The farm also grows fruits and vegetables that are sold at the Ypsilanti Farmers MarketPlace
