Helping founders find community and connections
Collaboration between a number of community organizations and UFI to develop a successful ‘neighborfood’ ecosystem that supports growing food through resilient, regenerative urban permaculture practices within Fairfield and surrounding neighborhoods in Huntington, West Virginia.
The program aims to place aspiring entrepreneurs within the region. The goal is to mitigate the risk of a steep initial investment for aspiring food truck owners while providing training in menu compilation, sourcing local ingredients, and best business practices while completing the MyBluefield Entrepreneur's Bootcamp "Starting a Business" course. Each participant will be able to use one of two trucks the program will provide at different locations for a period of 60 days, to practice on food, menu, and services.
