Description

Greensgrow operates a unique "City Supported Agriculture" program, with pick up at our experimental urban farm in Philadelphia. The CSA share, geared especially towards urban consumers, includes a wide variety of fruits, vegetables, humanely-raised meats and eggs, locally-produced dairy products, freshly baked breads, and other locally made treats. The items come from both our own urban farm and a network of rural growers and small local businesses. Members pick up at our farm in Kensington either Thursday (12-7) or Saturday (10-3). We offer a vegetarian option, full and half shares, and a vacation option.

Greensgrow is an experimental urban farm located in the Kensington section of Philadelphia. Our mission is the development of green businesses as an alternative to abandoned land and a potential tool for neighborhood revitalization.

Greensgrow practices "City Supported Agriculture." Our seasonal Farm Stand is stocked with the very best the Philadelphia region has to offer. Along with our own produce, we gather fresh fruits and vegetables as well as locally baked breads, locally produced cheeses, and naturally raised meats and eggs from nearby family farms. We also operate a CSA program from May through November and a Nursery.
