QCF Goes Hollywood

There has been a whirlwind of activity around Queen City Farm the last couple days. I spent the better part of this week with John Paget, local documentarian - Paget Films - shooting interviews for a QCF promotional film. WNY is blessed with a wealth of knowledge and experience with regard to food systems, community development, and preservation. We met so many dedicated individuals at the peak of their field. We are continuing to work on the film and will keep you posted on its progress. Contact me if you would like to host a screening.

An astonishing fact that came out during our interviews was that more than 40 percent of the nations food was grown in the largely urban victory garden movement during World War II. The potential for cultivation of super-local foods in the city of Buffalo is staggering with freshness and quality that your local supermarket can only dream of.

We have begun our Queen City Farm Groundbreaking Campaign. Our goal is to collect 500 tax-deductible donations of $100. This will allow us to complete the exterior of the Engel House and bring heat into the home before another Buffalo winter. It is vital to the project that we halt the deterioration of the Engel House before it is exposed to another freeze. Checks should be made payable to "MBCC - Queen City Farm" and sent to:

Thank you to everyone who has worked tirelessly to lend their knowledge and support to the Queen City Farm.
