FARMLIFE

Parker Village was established by Juan Shannon in October 2015 to provide citizens in Highland Park with fresh, locally grown food distribution by operating a small-scale farmers market. They also provide fresh vegetables on a weekly basis to the SAY Detroit Family Health Clinic. On the 43,000 sq ft, former home of Thompson Elementary School, Parker Village has over 200 garden beds. The first solar powered-smart street light in the midwest was installed there in 2018; a second was added in 2020 along with a second installation, a water and power shed, along with a solar pergola.
