Dutton Farm (MI) proudly accepted a $100,000 Impact100 Metro Detroit grant during their annual Big Give event on May 31, 2023 at the Grosse Pointe War Memorial.

The grant enables us to purchase a new greenhouse and establish community gardens, furthering our mission of empowering and supporting adults with disabilities to live a life of purpose, inclusion and dignity by facilitating opportunities for community engagement and enhancing our vocational training.

The handmade greenhouse will be flown in  from the United Kingdom, the only aluminum Glasshouses and Greenhouses organization endorsed by the Royal Horticultural Society.

This amazing structure will immediately affect the lives of the people we serve, becoming a focal point for our farm and creating a more inclusive community. 

When you drive up to Gould Farm, you are greeted by a tall white silo, the dairy herd sunning themselves in the fields, and several utilitarian white hoop houses next to rows upon rows of growing plants. Across the road are our bright yellow beehives. Your first impression is of a working farm.

What you don’t see at first, as you drive slowly by and up the hill to Main House, are cheese curds being cut in the creamery, bread dough rising in the bakery, and shiitake mushrooms sprouting on logs in the woods. You don’t see our farm team checking on the height of the grass in the pasture before rotating the cows through. You don’t see the garden team saving seeds, or campus crew clearing a fallen tree, or the kitchen team checking on the fermenting kimchi. You don’t see our maintenance team calibrating the biomass heating system or testing the water in our septic lagoons. We are constantly working to maintain the things that sustain us here.
