Heritage Farm Farmstand

Methodist Services urban farm in West Philadelphia growing chemical-free produce for women and children in residential programs since 2011, with four high tunnels extending the Philly growing season.

What they do

[[century-farm|Heritage Farm]] has operated since 2011 as the agricultural arm of Methodist Services in West Philadelphia. They grow tomatoes, salad and cooking greens, cucumbers, root vegetables, herbs, berries, melons, sunflowers, and zinnias — “avoiding all chemical fertilizers and pesticides” — and use four high tunnels plus a greenhouse to stretch the season. Produce goes first to women and children in Methodist Services’ residential and educational programs, then to the surrounding community and select Philadelphia restaurants.

Why it’s listed

[[mission-district-sf|Mission]] named directly: “create a sustainable, community based food system by growing and providing fresh produce and offering hands-on education and life skills to the families we serve.” Food access wired into the operating structure, not added as marketing.
