We've got music. We've got food. We've got an acre full of fun. But it wouldn’t be Future Fest without art, art, art. This year, there’s art to see, art to wear, art to throw, art to buy—and plenty of art to make! Local artists make a big splash at Future Fest. Gail Walters and Sarah Howie...
In addition to the fun activities and nourishing food, Future Fest has evolved into a sort of miniature music festival. This year’s lineup showcases exciting local acts in a variety of genres.

This Saturday, all that and more awaits you...

Rob primes the wood for new signs for the garden and summer activities. The wood panels are repurposed from cubicles that had been used for in-school suspension and the wood posts are repurposed from old pallets....
These winter peas were planted last fall as a cover crop while the garden lay dormant. Winter peas add nitrogen-rich biomass to the soil and offer great weed control, making them an ideal plant to help soil health. And when they flower in late spring / early summer, they're quite beautiful, too! Thank you Henry and...
The Huss Garden at the Huss Project is growing again! We've added extra space in the garden to grow vegetables this season and we're hoping to grow more good food than ever before.

Last year, the Community Economic Development Association of Michigan (CEDAM) gave the Huss Project a grant for $800 to build eight picnic tables.
