Feeding Uptown

How much are eggs this week? Listen in on a conversation with food equity advocate Ora Kemp about food insecurity, capitalism, and chicken coops. Ora shares how we all can make a difference in battling oppressive food distribution systems in the U.S.

Happy Season 2! For our first episode back, we’ll be introducing our theme for our second season: food and the land. Join local historian Don Rice for a tour through Inwood’s history, from the mastodons that roamed the lands of Inwood to Uptown-made loaves of bread presented at the World’s Fair.

Feeding Uptown returns for a second season! This season, we’re exploring food and gardening in Inwood. So join us as we learn about the evolution of food and the land in uptown Manhattan.

In this episode, we chat with food educator, filmmaker, and artist Alexis Agliano Sanborn. Alexis talks about her experience with Japanese food culture and education and how she uses her food and gardening knowledge to better the Uptown community.

With Broadway theaters and concert halls, most people associate the arts with lower Manhattan. In this episode, we speak with Aaron Simms, founder of Inwood Art Works. Aaron shares how Inwood Art Works fosters creativity and artistic expression Uptown by making film, art, and theater more accessible in Inwood.

For our first episode, we take a dive into what feeding uptown looks like here at the Dyckman Farmhouse Museum. We speak to four staff members at the museum to learn about how their work betters the Uptown community, from exploring the history of enslavement at the historic site to bringing gardening into the homes of community members.

Welcome to Feeding Uptown, a new podcast by the Dyckman Farmhouse Museum! Located in Inwood, Manhattan, the Dyckman Farmhouse Museum is oriented around our Uptown community. Through this podcast, we will hear the stories of Uptown residents and what they do to "feed" Uptown!
