Cold Storage Shared Hub Proposed to Support East Side Growers
A shared hub could help small growers store and distribute produce more efficiently.
Solving the logistics bottleneck
Growers and market organizers are exploring a shared cold-storage hub to reduce spoilage, coordinate deliveries, and allow more frequent restocking at neighborhood sites.
Supporters say logistics is often the difference between a pilot and a permanent program.
Potential benefits
- Less waste and better quality
- Easier aggregation for larger buyers
- More stable weekly market supply
Partners are evaluating possible locations and operating models.
