Walnut Grove Food Hub
The hub is operated by the Urban Farming Collective Food System (UFC) in partnership with AmeriHealth Caritas of Ohio and Preservation of Affordable Housing (POAH), and is primarily stocked with produce sourced from Ohio farmers.
The UFC Food System Food Hub in Franklin County — which opened in November 2025 at 751 Chestnut Grove Dr, Blacklick, OH 43004 — represents a significant expansion of the UFC Food System and a major step in improving access to fresh, healthy food for local residents. The hub also hosts The TABLE, a year-round culinary and behavioral health program designed for youth and families.
More than a traditional food hub, this initiative is part of a community-driven effort to provide fresh fruits, vegetables, herbs, and other groceries, while offering education and engagement opportunities through programs like The TABLE Youth Culinary & Behavioral Health Program. UFC Food System ensures that the Walnut Grove Food Hub aligns with community needs, sourcing locally and empowering residents to help shape the products available on the shelves.
