Providence Farm Collective

Providence Farm Collective Providence Farm Collective is a non-profit with a mission to bring farmland and fresh food to individuals and communities in Western New York.

Resilience is a word often used to describe Providence Farm Collective. And yes—our community has weathered challenges, adapted to change, and pushed forward when the path wasn’t clear or easy. But resilience alone doesn’t capture who we are.

What truly defines PFC is the way people come together, again and again, to build something better than what existed before.

Resilience may help us endure, but community is what helps us thrive. And now more than ever, it’s important for all of us to rally around the organizations and efforts that strengthen our shared future. Providence Farm Collective is one of those efforts—not because of any single achievement, but because of the collective spirit that makes each goal we reach possible.

The challenges are real, but so is the hope. So is the momentum. So is the community that continues to grow, season after season.

Thank you for your fellowship and your investment in Providence Farm Collective!

Hey there Bills fans! No one in our Western New York community should have to wonder where their next meal will come from.

At Providence Farm Collective, we see every day that food does more than fill a plate. Fresh, nourishing, culturally significant food can bring comfort, connection, dignity, and better health. That’s why we’re so honored to be part of the Buffalo Bills Foundation’s Huddle for Hunger initiative. 💙

Huddle for Hunger aims to raise awareness of food insecurity in our region and support local hunger-fighting charities. This includes a food drive, a festival at Highmark Stadium, and support from Wegmans through Meals2Go.

From September 22–26, every Meals2Go purchase from Wegmans will be matched dollar for dollar to support Huddle for Hunger. So when you order a meal, you’re also helping make a difference for neighbors across Western New York. 🙌

Let’s keep showing up for one another. Because no one in our community should go hungry.

Thank you Buffalo Bills Foundation! Go BILLS!

What does it take to grow the next generation of farmers?

At Providence Farm Collective, incubating farm businesses starts with access: Access to farmland, tools and equipment, training, technical assistance, markets, wrap around support, and hands-on opportunities. Small and mid-size farms feed us and developing the next generation of farmers and producers is vital to the wellbeing of us all.

We were proud to share PFC’s Incubator Farm Program with Hope Knight, CEO & President of Empire State Development , and Vinnie Esposito, Senior Vice President for Regional Economic Development, when they visited the farm recently. During their tour, we highlighted how PFC’s Incubator Farm Program is the only program of its kind in the region. As part of PFC’s 5-year program, aspiring farmers access the tools, knowledge, and experience they need to feed our Western New York community.

Investment by us all in local food production, including the transition and protecting farmland and the successful development of emerging farm entrepreneurs, is a multiplier in our local economy. We are, in essence, buying stock in our future for a stronger regional food system where farms are viable, farmers are paid fairly, and all of our neighbors have access to locally grown nutritious fresh foods. 🌱

Our heartfelt thanks to Hope Knight and Vinnie Esposito for their time visiting Providence Farm Collective to learn more about the Incubator Farm Program and the essential work we are doing right here on Burton Road in Orchard Park.

Come support Kristin and Hamadi Ali as they pitch the importance of all of us investing in the community building work of Providence Farm Collective!

Civic Showcase on Cultivating Community

This civic showcase features a panel discussion about local civic spaces and community building with Zhi Ting Phua from the Buffalo Olmsted Parks Conservancy and Eric Jones from the Buffalo AKG Art Museum. Both panelists will reflect on their approach to cultivating inclusive civic spaces, the challenges they have faced and overcome, and their most meaningful successes to date.

Following the panel, a crowdfunding dinner aims to support local organizations focusing on outdoor civic spaces. The dinner will then conclude with an informal social event, allowing everyone to mingle and discuss ways to further support civic spaces in Buffalo and Western New York.

Attendance is pay-as-you-can (with a suggested donation of five to twenty-five dollars), which includes free dinner and drinks. All proceeds are entered into a micro-grant “pool” and, during the crowdfunding dinner, four small local civic organizations will tell their stories and pitch their projects and ideas for the chance to win that micro-grant. Attendees can ask presenters questions prior to voting on their favorite project, and the winner is awarded the entire donation pool. In addition, all participating presenters will be compensated for their time.

DATE: Tuesday, August 25, 2026

TIME: 4:30 PM to 8:00 PM

COST: Pay-As-You-Can. (All proceeds go to the pitch earning the most votes.)

ADMISSION INCLUDES: Free dinner (including two alcoholic beverages for those 21 and over)

LOCATION: Resurgence Brewing Company, 55 Chicago St, Buffalo, NY 14204

EVENT ROOM: Upstairs, in the Resurgence Room

PARKING: Free spacious gravel lot located next to the brewery!

Hey Farmily 👋❤️

Hear from our Executive Director, Kristin, about what community means for us here at PFC! 🌱✨

“Resilience is a word often used to describe Providence Farm Collective. And yes—our community has weathered challenges, adapted to change, and pushed forward when the path wasn’t clear or easy. But resilience alone doesn’t capture who we are.

What truly defines PFC is the way people come together, again and again, to build something better than what existed before.

Resilience may help us endure, but community is what helps us thrive. And now more than ever, it’s important for all of us to rally around the organizations and efforts that strengthen our shared future.
