A trio of entrepreneurs called F.O.O.D. (Field of Our Dreams) has started a mobile fresh produce stand that hits several East Side neighborhoods on its route each Thursday. In its fifth week, and with the support of the
Capuchin Soup Kitchen, F.O.O.D. has three stops -- Butzel Family Center, Sheridan Place Apartments and across the street from the Parkstone Apartments in West Village -- and is looking to add more.
Warren Thomas says the goal is to do this year-round and add more and more Michigan and Detroit-grown products as the growing season progresses.
The current route schedule for Thursdays is as follows:
- Butzel Family Center, 7737 Kercheval St., 11:30 a.m.
- Sheridan Place, 7501 E. Jefferson, late afternoon
- Parkstone Apartments, Parker and Agnes, 5 to 7 p.m.
