An abandoned grocery story on Syracuse's Southside. In this area of the city, there are few grocery stores so the community has less access to fresh produce. Brady Family Farms has been helping this issue with their weekly farm stand. A few years ago there was a petition to reopen this grocery store, however, it was unsuccessful.

Brady Family Farm is in Syracuse, New York's Southside neighborhood. There are not many grocery stores in this area of the city, therefore people do not have access to fresh produce. The farm was started as a way to combat this problem. Jessie Lyons, the farm coordinator, grows culturally specific produce for the many different groups of people who live on Syracuse's Southside.
