Come join us at the Lansing Roots Farm & Garden Open House on Saturday, August 29 from noon - 4:00! Helping people grow food as a source of income as well as nourishment is the goal of Lansing Roots, a program launched by the Greater Lansing Food Bank in 2013. Lansing Roots is designed to help limited resource or historically underserved individuals begin successful market gardening and farming through an incubator farm setting. Additionally, the community garden portion of the farm supports 36 refugee families. The Open House will feature informational farm and garden tours as well as food made from produce grown on site. You will also be able to meet our farmers and gardeners. Official welcome and introductions begin at 2:00 p.m. We hope to see you there! Scroll down for directions to the farm.

Our farm is located on the east side of Hagadorn, 2 miles north of Mason, between Lamb Rd. and Harper Rd. Look for a big red barn with white roof and white silo and enter the driveway shared with a blue house. The road continues between the big barn and a smaller barn and soon turns to gravel. Continue on the gravel for about 1/4 mile, or until you see the pond and camping area. Park in the grass anywhere along the gravel. Our hoophouse and barn are on the right just before the pond.
