Charles Madlock wants the Black community to put agriculture before pop culture.
“Most people want to be rappers, football players or basketball players, anything but farming, because that’s just what our culture is,” he said.
But Madlock — an urban agriculture consultant and owner of @goldencaratfarms , and founder of @nourishcuseproject — argues the community would be more empowered by taking ownership of food insecurity solutions.
“I speak about farming the way I do,” he said, “because people don’t really realize the economic impact farming actually has. This is an investment in the city of Syracuse.”

🥐 Sugar Grove (@sugargrovesyracuse ) opened in downtown Syracuse last fall after four years in Cazenovia and five years in its initial Canastota location as The Toast.
You can’t talk about (or visit) Sugar Grove without getting into the pastries. If you fancy a plain croissant, you’ll be well-rewarded here, but that is literally as plain as things get.
You "could explore that bakery case for weeks without getting to all the doughnuts, macarons and treats that are available," wrote @lesleyporcelli .
