[1][2] MUFI is based in the North End district of central Detroit, where it operates a large multipurpose site.

[5][6] The first project for MUFI was the establishment of their main site in the North End district of central Detroit.

[8] On November 11, 2016, MUFI announced its plans to implement the first sustainable urban "agrihood" in the United States.

[9] This plan is an extension of the work the nonprofit has been doing since 2011 at the North End site, in which MUFI's existing agricultural campus is positioned as the centerpiece of a larger mixed-use development, with a focus on residential.

Currently, the North End site functions primarily as an urban farm and community activity area.
