Harvest | A Farm to City Center

 

A Shared Facility Built for Food, Health, and Opportunity

Harvest is a first‑of‑its‑kind food hub co‑created by RWJBarnabas Health and UAC. Located in the historic Hahne’s Building in Downtown Newark, it brings food access, health education, culinary entrepreneurship, and workforce development together under one roof.

  • UAC’s aggregation and distribution warehouse

  • RWJBH’s community teaching kitchen and classroom spaces

  • A commercial kitchen supporting RWJBH’s membership program and UAC’s value‑added and training needs

Harvest shows what becomes possible when a health system and a food‑system organization operate side‑by‑side — coordinating daily to strengthen local farms, support families, and expand economic opportunity.
