Jason Fligger is no longer with the Hunger Action Coalition. I tried reaching him at home but he did not return my call. Rumor has it that he has gone back to farming on his own, but since I've never talked to him, I don't know if it's true.
I do have some information about community gardens in Grand Rapids but since it's incomplete I'm going to respond off-list.

If there's a link to Jason Fligger's project, I'd love to see it - it sounds absolutely extraordinary.

The knowledgeable & vivacious supervisor named Nora was kind enough to show me around even though I showed up unannounced. Her energy & enthusiam are infectious. 90 seniors garden their own 400' fenced allotments with on-site composting, water & mulching materials available. There are some sections planted specifically for donations to food banks. The rich ethnic mix of northwest Detroit suburbs allows for some sharing of heirloom seeds as well gardening wisdom between continents as well as generations.The Southfield garden shows what the marriage of public commitment, private initiative and great volunteers can do. This community allotment garden is REAL well run. they won a John Deere award last year for excellence. [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED] are 2 of the supervisors at the southfield seniors community garden project ________________________________________________________________________ ____ _______________ south Detroit Gardening Angels: Have 300-400 gardeners tending allotment plots. I dont have a contact for them, but maybe Jason knows somebody there.

I am looking for information on community gardens, specifically in Michigan, because I am from Detroit. I have been pretty unsuccessful in locating people who can give me any information on their experiences with community gardens in Michigan. I came across this listserv during my reseach and it appeared as if this may be helpful in finding someone who can provide me with either information or a contact in order to further my research. Please let me know asap, my research is due this Thursday. Look forward to talking to you. Thanks so much. ______________________________________________________ The American Community Gardening Association listserve is only one of ACGA's services to community gardeners.
