Since 2017 the CAgrO Urban Agriculture Program at 214 Kingsley Street, has increased the availability of fresh, locally grown produce to low-income communities in Western New York. Their plot of land on the East Side of Buffalo provides healthy, tasty fruits, vegetables, and herbs to various assistance programs, and they work closely with local farms to supply our CAO Mobile Market.

East Side Stewards has been contracted through the 2025 growing season to create tangible solutions for food insecurity, environmental justice, and economic empowerment. The revitalized space will not only serve as a source of fresh, locally grown produce, but also as a platform for youth engagement, agricultural education, and workforce development.
