Farm To Philly :: Eat Local!

Help Wanted: Urban Farming

Sunday, December 09, 2007

What’s more local than food from a nearby farm? Food from a farm a few blocks away. This may be a bit out of the ordinary, but I thought it would be of interest to Farm to Philly readers. A member of my CSA recently sent me an e-mail looking for participants for an urban farm in South Philly. Here are the details…

I’m presently establishing a farm down in South Philly. A non-profit down there owns a bunch of vacant lots they’d like to see something done on, and they like my idea. My plan is for it to be a participatory thing, connected to the alternative currency I established. I elaborate on the plan in a message to my alternative currency pals. I’m telling you, one, to invite you to participate yourself if you want, and two, I thought you might be able to spread the word.

If you are interested, contact Fred Kittelman at

Support a local farmer, crave the freshest produce, worry about what's in or on your food - whatever your reason for eating locally grown and produced food in the Philadelphia area, Farm to Philly is probably writing about it. We're focused on where to find it, how to grow it, and what to do with it!
