Farmers sharpen their skills. Families learn to prepare ood for maximum medicine. Everyone grows.
Restoring the legacy
During the Great Migration, Pembroke Township's truck farmers fed Chicago to Cleveland off of 20,000-30,000 acres of farmland, stewarded by hundreds of farming families, full control from seed to table across 400 miles. In the winter, Pembroke became a channel for the harvest from farmers in the south to the Midwest.
The Healthy Food Hub restores this legacy, reconnecting Great Migration descendants with the land that sustained their ancestors.
