💛Fam, tomorrow we open the doors to WAKA Eastern Market! 💛

I keep thinking about how far this journey has taken us — from a food truck to a full space of our own, built with the same hands and the same recipes that raised us in Burundi.

None of this happens without this city. Detroit took us in when we needed a home, and every day since, you all have shown up for us in ways we could never have imagined. Thank you for being patient while we built this, and for believing in it before you'd even seen it.

Tomorrow, we get to say welcome. See you there. 💛

The people who grow your food matter. 🌱

At Baobab Fare, we believe good food starts long before it reaches the kitchen. It starts with healthy soil, thoughtful farming, and people who genuinely care about what they're growing.

That is why we work closely with farmers here in Detroit, in Burundi and also Honduras. It's also why we encourage everyone to shop local whenever they can. Visit , meet a farmer, join a CSA, ask questions, and try something you've never cooked before.

Food has always been about more than what's on the plate. It connects us to our communities, our health, and each other.

If you're looking for local farms to support, send us a message. We're always happy to share some of our favorites. 💚
