Raleigh & Company featured Bull City Cool in an in-depth article about local healthy food systems. Jen Baker’s “Food: It’s Complicated” explores the development of the Geer Street Food Corridor in Durham since 2012, as well as Bull City Cool’s role as the corridor’s “crown jewel.”
This excerpt gives a glimpse into what made our story worth writing about:
One recent success story of increasing access to healthy, affordable food is the Geer Street Food Corridor in Durham. Located between North Mangum and North Roxboro streets, it’s a living laboratory of “food systems thinking” translated into community development action.
Its interlocking elements stand alone and yet support each other:
* A food hub, Bull City Cool, houses two non-profit food distributors and supports the cold storage and packing needs of other local food businesses;
* Inter-Faith Food Shuttle farms an urban agriculture site;
* And a healthy corner store is supported by the Partnership for a Healthy Durham and the Durham Health Department
