Corbin Hill Road Farm (CHRF) is a network of rural farms and urban communities in New York. CHRF works with farmers from upstate New York and community groups in New York City to deliver fresh, local produce to Harlem and the Bronx. This social enterprise is a community-driven business that delivers farm fresh produce directly to communities in Harlem and the Bronx. Corbin Hill Road Farm Shareholders (members) purchase and receive a “share” of produce harvested which includes number of seasonal items each week.
Corbin Hill Road Farm has worked with the CUNY Institute for Health Equity and Lehman College to implement a farm sharing program on Lehman's campus. Farm shares are available every Tuesday to anyone, on or off campus.

Dear Friends of the Institute,
This July marks the start of the Institute's Bronx Birth study, a project that we will continue for the next couple of years. Investigating stressors in women's lives that lead to poor birth outcome is especially crucial here in the Bronx, as this borough is consistently ranked as being highest in infant mortality. Eligibility requirements for participating in the study are listed below.
Successful and Productive Academic Research Careers (SPARC) is holding a free professional development conference on August 2nd. Registration information is below.
Sin Pais, a documentary about families torn apart by deportation, will be screened at the Macaulay Honors College on August 9th. For more details, see below.
We hope everyone is enjoying the rest of their summer!
