Blacque Acres Inc.

Blacque Acres Inc. is a hydroponic farm that's inside a shipping container and can grow produce all year long. We understand that it is difficult for families to make healthy food choices when the options are few and cost prohibitive. We decided to start this farm and partner with New York State to provide SNAP Benefit recipients with farm fresh food items at a reduced cost. We want community members to be able to make healthier choices when it comes their food options. Our state-of-the-art farm is technologically advanced and allows us to optimize space and time to bring produce to our community that is hyperlocal and nutrient rich. We have total control of the environment and that allows us to plan our planting and harvesting, so our delivery efficiency is unmatched. There is something to be said when you can deliver a product to someone that needs it the most.

This community has a rich refugee population and educating them on the benefits of changing agriculture practices, will allow them the opportunity to grow some of the produce that they are familiar using sustainable practices. It will also allow them to share their recipes with the community. This is the kind of community building that is needed as this city grows. A growing food desert may seem insurmountable, but our farm stands as a beacon of hope for a community in need. We believe in exposure and access, your donation will expose what could be and provide access to what will be. We grow more than food, we grow health, hope, and home. Be a part of something amazing, please give to Blacque Acres Inc.
