About Northside Food Shed
The Northside Food Access Coalition is building a cold storage unit to run a farmers’ market/CSA hybrid on the Brookland Park Corridor adjacent to Richmond Community High School. The Market will partner with local Virginia farmers of color to purchase freshly harvested and culturally relevant produce in bulk midweek and provide cold storage to extend produce freshness to be sold on the weekend. Anchored by the Brookland Park corridor, the Northside community is home to over 35,000 residents (2010 census) of which 56% have low food access (USDA ERS Food Access Research Atlas). Not having convenient, healthy food to purchase nearby has been a topic of discussion between residents and community organizations for many years. In the Summer of 2019, community neighbors, farmers, and organizations came together to host monthly meetings with the goals of: 1) increasing community access to fresh food in Northside Richmond 2) control over a local food system 3) equitable engagement opportunities for community members 4) building relationships throughout the entire food system value chain to ensure sustainability.
