Program Overview

At Stand 44, we believe that food is an opportunity to celebrate creativity, community and sustainability. Since Stand 44 opened in Greenfield Village in 2024, its mission has been to prepare delicious, made-from-scratch dishes by chefs who showcase the best of local, seasonal ingredients. We're passionate about creating a welcoming dining experience where every meal minimizes waste and uses resources responsibly.

As part of The Henry Ford's broader commitment to edible education, Stand 44 is a place where food traditions are honored and a sustainable food future is shaped. Our goal is to foster a hands-on relationship with food that inspires our guests to choose fresh, local and sustainability-focused dishes — prepared with care.

The Stand 44 Guest Chef program highlights local chefs who share a passion for these values during each summer season in Greenfield Village.
