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.

Hey wait untill you have to make a delivery to the caves, it is beautiful and an even temp. all year round.I have been there and done that, back in the late 90's

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.

Anonymous said...

I worked down there and there are sub levels that the general public does not know about. As for the underground being a secret, it is not at all. Now the government does store stuff down there, but nothing top secret.

Yep Missouri actually has lots of these underground storage locations. Several in the KC area, whre they have a fitness center and tennis courts in one. I guess you got to get your exercise when the world comes to a end. I have been to several of them because my father worked for the USDA and had to inspect them for proper storage processing. Carthage, Neosho, Springfield, KC all over the state. The state of Kansas has several they store old theater movies in one, pump natural gas in others for storage. And even in Oklahoma where their is a commercial mushrooms farm in one. I guess the midwest is a good place to hide stuff underground.

Anonymous said...

Oh and by the way most of these "caves" are the result of mining. In Missouri its for limestone, which is used in roads, cement and other products. In Kansas it was salt mining for some, and Lead and Zinc in Oklahoma. All these leave big holes where they remove those items, so why not use the area for storage.

Anonymous said...

ok folks i have several questions.1. why the hell would somebody build some place this big? 2. you name it, its down there. production, assemble, fitness etc.. and 3. where does the funding come from to build something this huge??? very multi millions of clams here.
im not going to say what im thinking because im keeping on the safe side.

Hello, I have lived in Carthage for a little more than 15 years. There is nothing secret about this facility. It is very large, measuring over a mile from end to end in several areas. It is used primarily as cold food storage by many companies. Including hostess as of last week. I have several family members who have and still do work in the caves. They were created by a local rock quarry, which if you look on say google maps you will see has now moved down the road, where it continues to mine and sell its stone as well as supply an onsite asphault company with gravel. Locally these caves are always talked about. There are many many local rumors of a large cave network which snakes around under carthage as well as connects with surrounding cities. This is partly true. There have been several small caves found over the years (all on privately owned property)but most don't really go anywhere. The city of carthage, not that long ago, spent a rather large sum of money digging around town, in hopes of finding the large cavern (which is a 100+ year old rumor) and exploiting it as a tourist attraction. In closing, All in all, there is nothing out of the ordinary here, just a small town with small town rumors.

Sitting outside the one in Springfield MO. right now. Was not allowed to drive in. Instead I dropped my trailer and they fill it then bring it back out. Very secure facility.

Anymouse who do you work for? Because your comments seem to be one sided. I think you are part of the PTB folks. I dont believe a whole lot of what you say

Wow! These tunnel storage facilities are sooo cool!

Anonymous said...

I work for americold in Carthage. The job I do for them allows me to pretty have the run of the facility. It is just a warehouse. We store food for a lot of different customers. We don't store anything for the government anymore. It is a pretty cool place for like 20 minutes and after that its just a hole in the ground, nothing special.

Anonymous said...

I too was an owner/operator OTR truck driver and visited this facility and several others like it in Missouri. There is a simple and logical explanation and it's not a conspiracy. The area is a combination of left over space from mining operations and natural caverns. The temperature and humidity remain nearly constant and it's basically free space (with very slight modifications). Perfect for storage of a variety of commodities. In one trip I delivered toys (stuffed animals to be exact). Still, it's pretty awesome inside there.

Anonymous said...

Just came across this... didn't read all the posts because I thought this was pretty funny. Americold is a company that owns warehouses and leases out space, so when it says one company cannot possibly use all this space you need to realize Americold doesn't store anything for itself. We have a couple Americold facilities here in Minnesota and they have warehouses all over the country. Go to their website.

Anonymous said...

The fact is, yes Americold stores a crap ton of stuff there. Is any of it sinister? Probably not. Another fact, the government at least use to store stuff there. But another fact is that old accounts of the caverns say it extended twenty miles to under Joplin, and this was considered fact. Not rumors. Then it just changed. Yet another fact is that Americold has VERY strict anti-photogrpahy rules, which I assume is why there is only a few videos and pictures of the Carthage facility. But some of the areas are public, and free to explore. So if you think there's a conspiracy, go see.

Not a bad idea to store what would be needed the most in times of scarcity.

Not so, last time I delivered to the caves, I was shocked to see a train running through. Though this too is not unusual as in bulk, rail services are cheaper than truck. I have also picked up food here. Nothing unusual.

I've hauled freight out of those caves many times and have been inside walking around. There's even a train track going inside. They never act like they are hiding anything.

About 3 miles in there is a loading dock with an elevator going down. Truth is no one knows it all... We only know what we are cleared to know. That is why you never hear it all from one person. Yes there was military equipment there, lots of it... Maybe there is more stuff. Truth is if shit hits the fan it could house easily a few hundred thousand people just on the free to roam around area...which is very small percentage. But I would question about staying there because shit may hit the fan near there.

Wow you fricking people are amazing jeez I was at the caves today to unload corn dogs at americold cave 16 dock 51 and had a kit Kat and a Java withe Bigfoot and Elvis Presley before the went to the hidden elevator down to Dr evils secret layer, come on people get real I'm sure there is military products stored in these cave system but the public is not going to get anyway near it and besides that don't ya thing there would ARMED security and not Tator and Skooter working the quarday shacks ������

Anonymous said...

It may be hard for some people to understand but the reason companies use these underground warehouses is its a constant temperature and humidity, hence less refrigeration needed so power = lower overhead cost. Also they are more secure from natural disasters, burglars and vandalism. I didn't have to even sign in at the gate or show ID. Everything is available online including the websites for all of these commercial spaces

Missouri leads the country in underground storage. This is a direct result of the massive limestone deposits that lay under the state. The mining companies offered very cheap prices for use of areas that they have mined to companies for storage early on. In Kansas City, one company decided to try cold storage. They set it up and cooled and cooled and cooled. They were about to give up when all of a sudden it stablized with little or no added cold.... it had formed a layer of permafrost in the walls. Missouri and Kansas City in particular are major underground storage. It is 58 degrees down there all year round, no light when they are turned off - ideal storage conditions. We have everything from the Post Office Philanthropic stamp national location, a major film company that stores their masters here, MANY food storage and other storage companies. We were the major location for all of the old Commodity foods. We even have a Orchid grower underground. We had a sailboat manufacturer that made fiberglass boats here for years. You are a NUT if you believe this is a conspiracy. PLEASE go to such sites and check them out BEFORE you post such a bogus post. We are proud of our underground storage areas here in Kansas City.. I store my popup camper there as well... no light to ruin the rubber or paint, don't have to remove anything that could freeze as it is 58 degrees and as it is almost a 1/2 mile into the cave space it is VERY safe!

we been to all the cave locations in the early 70s we were an over the road driver.we made mamy a delivery to the quarry in vsrhage mo and to kansas city caves , the government set this low lease space in the caves for busineses ,mamufacturing ,and food plants and food warehouses, hrocery warehouses, we kmow there was s pillsbury plant a big grocery warehouse ,coors beerdistribution cemter in carthage mo.plus we know tjere wete all kinds of shopsof all kinds for the workeres thete yoo plus they hsd a big gym sn umderground golfrange. a bunch of tennis courts, it was like a city underground the resdon was to have stuff intact underground in case we got attacked we would feed and protect our people and troops,we would have enough supplies

Lol...I used to work at Americold in Carthage...it is a well known frozen foods distribution center...Yes, it's large, they distribute food to all retailers and the food service industry. Schreiber foods also has a facility in the same underground location. These sorts of facilities are not uncommon. Neosho, Mo, about 15 miles away, also has underground warehousing facilities. there is nothing "secret" about them at all. They weren't excavated and "built"...they are the result of large scale limestone mining, then when empty, companies use them for warehousing due to the relative ease of climate control.

I have been under ground inside the Kraft case myself. It's not gaurded by military, it's really no secret to it. You go in, pick up your load, pull forward, check it, Kraft personnel comes out and seals it & you drive off. It is an absolutely beautiful experience to be able to be in there!

If one would research things instead of asking questions, one would realize that the earth is about to experience a pole shift.(Look up magnetic north moving at 35 miles per year and scientist dont know why). The pole reversal will leave cause meteors to hit the earth and this is also the reason there are underground cities and boats found on mountaintops. Please study pole reversal and the effects on the earth. You too will want to be underground at least 12000' above sea level when it happens probably within the next 5 years.
