Lack of knowledge of nutrition and eating habits contribute to the health issues that are abundant in Buffalo. Diabetes, hypertension, obesity and other health related issues that can be tied to food for prevention and/or mitigation waylay the full spectrum of redevelopment for this community.
Buffalo Go Green (BGG) sells at local farmers markets weekly from June to October; has a corporate wellness division where it embeds its services into local companies and universities; and programming for elementary and high school students where it teaches nutrition education and farming. But, it doesn’t stop at growing and selling fresh produce. No, the many facets of BGG’s programming work together to assure success.
With our new Food Hub on Zenner Street by East Ferry, Buffalo Go Green operates five 72’ x 24’ greenhouses along with hydroponic vertical growing container to keep the harvests going 12 months of the year.
And, our redevelopment project on Manhattan Avenue, well underway, will host various wellness programs, a teaching kitchen, 4500 sq ft of hydroponic growing 12-months annually, a small market and juice bar, education spaces, a community room, and our offices.
We could use your help to continue to fight food insecurity in Western New York.
