During this October’s harvest season, local Buffalo organizations are collaborating on several events to improve the health and economy for communities of color in Buffalo. With an emphasis on Black, Indigenous, and Latinx growers, chefs, and food systems leaders, the events will bring Buffalo communities together to learn with and from each other.
