We celebrated our Grand Opening on Thursday, September 10th, to a crowd of almost 100 people! Elected state and county officials, neighborhood residents, funders, and government partners all came through the doors of Bull City Cool to welcome the new Food Hub to the neighborhood. Senator Floyd McKissick, Jr. was one attendant of the Grand […]
BCC is “a place for the magic to happen”
Bull City Cool finds ourselves (were we lost?) making headlines again! This time Wellness Warrior’s Damon Cory-Watson explores what makes us a food hub in his compelling article “Bull City Cool in Durham, North Carolina— the Future of Food?” This short excerpt makes a great “elevator speech” to answer the question we hear most frequently, […]
Pitch fork to salad fork… and everything in between
Bull City Cool makes headlines again! This time the Carolina Farm Stewardship Association (CFSA) has featured an interview with Peter Skillern, executive director of Reinvestment Partners and “father figure” of the food hub. Who is CFSA? In their own words… …a farmer-driven, membership-based 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that helps people in the Carolinas grow and eat […]
What does the trash say?
Inter-Faith Food Shuttle is wasting no time getting comfortable in their new space at and around the Bull City Cool Food Hub. How can you tell? They have trash here, and it’s talking! These compost bins – adjacent to their urban garden – make it clear they’ve been getting their hands in the dirt. And […]
It’s a beaut, Clark!
Bull City Cool may turn heads during the day, but it’s giving people whiplash at night! As I stand out front and see it bathed in light, I can’t help hearing, “It’s a beaut, Clark! It’s a beaut!” from Christmas Vacation. At night the stunning interior renovations are brightly on display. In this photo you […]
Re-Introducing 902 N Mangum St
Just over a year ago we introduced you to 902 N Mangum St, and it wasn’t a pretty sight. Today we re-introduce you – this time to the new Bull City Cool Food Hub. And what a transformation! It was oversized and outdated, its excessively blocky structure resembling something you might find in the popular […]
Rusty the Rooster… Guardin’ the Gates
We have a new edition to the food hub’s landscape – Rusty the Rooster. Rusty is Bull City Cool’s guardian of the northwest, while local artist Tom Dawson’s bull guards the southeast corner… with a pitchfork. (Rusty, you’re going to have to step up your game!) Our urban-agriculture statues may not be as majestic as […]

A Garden in the Desert
The Bull City Cool Food Hub is located in a USDA-designated food desert, or an urban neighborhood “without ready access to fresh, healthy, and affordable food.” And strategically so. The hub is designed to bring fresh veggies to food-desert residents, many of whom are more than a half-mile from the nearest supermarket. We’re bridging the […]
Putting the “Bull” in Bull City Cool
Bull City Cool, in Bull City proper, would be incomplete without… (say it with me)… a Bull. Luckily local metal artist Tom Dawson was up to the task of crafting one to both guard the food hub with a pitch fork, and reflect our historic building’s colorful history. Read on to learn more in this […]
