Deep Underground Food Storage Facilities

A few years back I spoke to an over the road driver who told me about deliveries he had made to this underground storage facility in Carthage, Missouri. He claimed it was operated by the military, but I have no proof of that. He also stated that only deliveries are made to these facilities, no loads are taken away. I decided to research these facilities online and was amazed to see the videos I have posted here.

These underground storage facilities are deep underground which tells you that what is being placed in them is meant to be protected from some major catastrophic event on the surface. It makes me ask myself, "what is our government preparing for"?

*** After reviewing some of the e-mails I received on this article I wanted to share some information that was brought to my attention. It appears that the facility in Carthage, Missouri is operated by a company called Americold. Though I do not doubt that this company does indeed use some of the space inside these massive cave facilities it is hard to imagine that they are the only one using them.

As you view the video will notice how massive they are and as the truck drives through the cave please notice the shear number of loading docks it passes. In my opinion these simply is no way that one company could use this amount of warehouse space alone.

I would love to hear your comments on this subject so please leave a comment.

No big deal. There are several large cave complexes in Missouri for storage of food and IT/telecommunication equipment. It's safer to store underground and it's easier to keep cool. Kraft has a huge underground complex in Springfield, MO. These caves are developed by mining companies that lease the space out to other companies as warehouses or secure facilities. Nothing out of the ordinary, I've been in several.

No big deal? Did you happen to hear the guy in the second video saying it was an "undisclosed location"??
If this is so normal then why all the secrecy??
Sorry but, it looks to me like the PTB are stocking up and preparing for something big.

Wonder what kind of trouble the guy got into for posting a video of this place. The gov't doesn't like people ratting them out to the sheople.

This is for the US surplus of food. Remember Government cheese? It came from surpluses like these. See:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Government_cheese

Just stumbled upon your article. I live in Carthage and the Underground is not a secret. Everyone who lives here knows about it, where its at, and the "secret" ways to get into it. There are even "secret" passages from underneath the city square and county courthouse. They were used for bootlegging during prohibition and some suggest the caves and passages were even used for smuggling slaves prior to emancipation. Anything that has been in use that long is not "top secret". So far as the notion that things are only delivered and never leave, that is poppycock. A few years back we had a blizzard that dumped 20 inches of snow on the ground and shut down the highways. Truckers were stuck at the Underground and other locations and were unable to deliver the loads of food that they were taking FROM there to regional stores (including Walmart's distribution centers) and thus many stores even outside the blizzard area ran out of their stock that typically comes from the Underground. It is possible that other things are stored there that belong to the government, but Americold is the main company. There are about 20 other companies that use the facility as well, I know people who work for several of them.

I agree with last comment 100% i have taken food out and brought stuff in from there. Secret they are not by any means. its due to the location and type of rock that make these facilities very effective long term storage facilities.. I.e. Butterball turkeys are frozen there and stored southwest cheese of clovis new mexico ages their cheddars there. Lipton stores ingridients there as well yes ibhave seen some gov. Vehicles there but only the jasper county disaster command rv. While there are train tracls there as well they were lilely used in the construction of the facility.

They also give significant amounts of frozen food to local charities, both in Carthage and in surrounding areas. They weekly give out dozens of pallets of frozen veggies and other foods that the food pantry I volunteer with collects and distributes to the area poor.

I know FOR A FACT that the underground in Carthage is NOT a secret. They store food that is brought in and they also ship food out. There are also several other companies that use the caves for their own companies. They export orders to other countries also. There is nothing that is secret about Americold. Even when you drive by on the road there is a big sign that says Americold on it. If it was a "secret", why would they put their name on a huge sign by the road?! Get your facts straight.

What better way is there than to hide something important in plain sight. Obviously food is a necessity for survival. A civilian
camouflage serves to assuage fear.
Is there a qualified engineer/contractor who can speak to the economics of retrofitting
versus building an above ground insulated facility.
