Bronx County
The Bronx is a cultural and culinary hub with a proud agricultural history and a long tradition of community gardens and local food programs. Yet many residents still struggle to access affordable, nutritious food. Project FoodBox supports Bronx families by providing reliable access to fresh fruits and vegetables, strengthening community health, and expanding healthy food options for all.
Bronx County's Agricultural Heritage
Before urbanization, the Bronx was rich with marshlands, forests, and indigenous farming plots where the Lenape planted corn and beans and harvested oysters and wild berries. Colonial farms and orchards later dotted the landscape, supplying New York City with produce and dairy. Though now urban, the Bronx carries this agrarian legacy into community gardens and local agriculture programs. Still, food access challenges persist, fueling work to expand fresh-food availability.
