Our work links growers, partners, families, and the workforce in the local food system.
Farmers & Food Producers
We create stable markets for New Jersey’s small and mid‑sized farmers, urban growers, and local food producers by coordinating the logistics that move their products into our communities.
Community Food Access & Partnerships
We expand access to fresh, local food by sourcing, aggregating, and delivering it to trusted partners who serve families where they live, learn, worship, and receive care.
Youth Workforce & Career Pathways
We train the next generation of food‑system leaders. Emerging leaders earn wages, build skills, and gain hands‑on experience in agriculture, logistics, food production, organizational skills and entrepreneurship.
Harvest: An RWJBarnabas Health Farm-to-Community Center
UAC’s Newark homebase — the place where our mission meets practice. In our warehouse, we receive, pack, and distribute food from New Jersey farms, supported by commercial‑kitchen access and daily training for emerging leaders that maintains the momentum of the supply chain.
Policy, Advocacy & Systems Change
UAC is a co-founding member of NJFDC, through which we participate in state, county, and local policy. Our interest areas include inclusive farmers markets, investments in small farmers, farm-to-institution support, and land conservation.
