Literally 🆒. A new 10x10 walk-in cooler brought to you by @pressbayithaca and @groundswellcenter is fully built onsite, and 90% of the start-up work is done. We expect to be operational by June!

Located in downtown Ithaca, this refrigeration unit will be used as a “sub hub” of the Press Bay Food Hub & Pantry in an easy-to-access location where farmers and distributors can drive up, park at the entrance, and load easily. This cooler is pallet accessible too.

A portion of the cooler will be held for aggregation by early, small farmers and BIPOC farmers for further aggregation and distribution. Partner distributors this year include @headwater_food_hub and @fullplatefarmcollective.

Over the course of the past few weeks Urban Core staff Melissa Madden and Ray Dickerson worked with Bill (Kirkway Farms), the Ithaca Electric team (Max, Bill and Chris) to run a trench through the Geneva St parking lot to bring electricity out to the cooler. Ben and John of Upstate Service Associates installed the cooler itself.

Inquiries for storage and use can be sent to the Press Bay Food Hub & Pantry.

We are excited to be expanding markets for new small farmers in this area!

This week, our farmer training program participant

This week, our farmer training program participants are West Haven Farm! Meet Carlos Aguilera and Lorena Mendoza

They grew up in central Mexico in a community of about 300-400 families surrounded by peaceful nature, eating what the land produced. Carlos first visited a supermarket when he got to the US at age 16. After they came to the US, they ate conventional food for a bunch of years, until Carlos became a licensed spray technician in the state of New York for his work. While he began to study for the license they realized the terrible consequences of pesticides and started to value more what they had back in Mexico as kids.

They now own and operate @west_haven_farm !

Giavanna, @groundswellcenter Programs Manager, gets out on the tractor this week at the Incubator Farm!

Classic spring 💩 where everything broke on the farm this week - from the porta🚽 to the walk-behind 🚜. But the hardworking team prevailed!

The Incubator Farm is full once again, welcoming two new farmers, @maisiguani and Hsa Moo, for a total of 12 farm businesses operating at the site.

Come volunteer with us or sign up for a farm tour! Details TBA 🌱

This week, the farmer training program participant

This week, the farmer training program participants were at the the Traditional Center for Indigenous Knowledge and Healing (TCIKH)! Meet Joe Soto, Maya Soto, Alexas Esposito and @_tcikh and why they wanted to be a host farm for our program.

TCIKH’s aim is to help their people heal through the sharing of knowledge and healing modalities, and the practice of sovereignty through traditional community roles and values, which is a matrilineal way of life.

This week, the farmer training program participant

This week, the farmer training program participants were at the the Learning Farm! Meet Christa Nuñez and the @learningfarm and why they wanted to be a host farm for our program.

The Learning Farm also collaborates with several local grassroots organizations on issues of reparations, literacy, African diaspora, indigenous and refugee community land access, and family agriculture.

Christa's aim is to involve youth and adults in sustainable agriculture work in order to make strides in creating a truly equitable and fair food system and society-at-large.
