Steuben County
Steuben County’s agricultural heritage runs deep, with dairy operations, crop farms, and family-run markets spread across miles of scenic countryside. Despite this production strength, residents in rural towns and villages may experience limited access to fresh food options, particularly without nearby grocery infrastructure. Project FoodBox supports Steuben County families by delivering nutritious, farm-fresh foods directly into the community, helping people eat well while supporting local producers.
Steuben County's Agricultural Heritage
Indigenous farmers once cultivated corn and medicinal plants across what is now Steuben County, supplementing their diets with hunting, fishing, and gathering wild berries and roots. Settlers expanded the region’s agricultural base with dairy farms, orchards, hops, and hayfields. While agriculture remains central to Steuben County’s character, contemporary challenges mean not all residents can easily access fresh foods. Rooted in the county’s farming heritage, local efforts focus on ensuring healthy, local nourishment for all.

Addressing Food Waste and Nourishing Steuben County
Steuben County’s agricultural landscape produces dairy, vegetables, and meat, yet not all residents have equal access to this local abundance. With rising food costs and transportation challenges, nutritious food can be out of reach — even as edible products go to waste statewide. Project FoodBox connects farmers and families to reduce waste, improve health, and fuel a more sustainable and equitable food system in Steuben County.
Nourishment for Mind & Body
Envision a Steuben County where nutritious, farm-grown food supports every resident’s ability to learn, work, and age with dignity. Children perform at their best, adults feel strong and supported, and seniors maintain independence and wellness. Project FoodBox is building that future by expanding access to wholesome, medically aligned foods across rural towns and neighborhoods. When residents unite around healthy meals, they strengthen their shared future and celebrate Steuben’s agricultural heritage. Nutritious food isn’t just nourishment—it's community strength.
