THE FEED MY TOWN PROJECT

THREE DESIGNERS, ONE SMALL TOWN. THIS WEBSITE IS A DOCUMENTATION OF OUR EFFORTS TO RECONNECT A SMALL TOWN WHICH HAS BEEN DIVIDED OVER TIME BY GEOGRAPHY AND CULTURE. AWARE OF THE VERY REAL SEPARATION BETWEEN MAIN STREET AND THE COMMUNITY ITSELF, WE WONDERED WHAT COULD BE DONE TO CHANGE IT. AS WE INVESTIGATED WE BECAME AWARE OF SOMETHING TRULY SHOCKING - THAT PEOPLE IN OUR TOWN WERE GOING HUNGRY RIGHT UNDER OUR NOSES, IN THE SHADOW OF PROSPERITY AND IN THE BACKYARD OF RICH AND FERTILE FARMLAND. SEEKING A SOLUTION BECAME OUR NEW PRIORITY. WHILE WE ARE STILL WORKING TOWARDS FINDING THE ANSWERS, WE THOUGHT POSTING OUR PROGRESS MIGHT HELP OTHERS FACING THE SAME CHALLENGES IN THEIR OWN TOWNS.

PHASE 1 : HANDMADE-HOMEGROWN MARKET

THE FIRST PIECE OF THE PROJECT WAS TO CREATE A MARKET THAT COULD UNITE THE COMMUNITY, BRING FRESH AND NUTRITIOUS FOOD TO THOSE WHO NEED IT AND ATTENTION TO STRUGGLING DOWNTOWN MERCHANTS..
