Mill Creek Urban Farm

Mill Creek Urban Farm is a people of color-led educational farm and environmental education center in West Philadelphia that focuses on cultivating a healthy environment, growing strong communities, and promoting a just and sustainable food system.  On a yearly basis, the nonprofit harvests over 5,000 pounds of chemical free-produce, about a fifth of which is donated to local food pantries, and engages over 1,000 people in farm-based education programs. To help youth in the Mill Creek neighborhood gain leadership and job skills, the farm also offers paid high school internships.
