Mill Creek Urban Farm
Mill Creek Farm is a precious jewel in West Philadelphia that is comprised of and run by Black farmers growing beloved foods from Black and African Diasporic community. According to the 1619 Project, nationwide, Black Americans are losing up to 30,000 acres of land a year. Mill Creek Farm IS Black land. If we want to stay in our place, to survive and thrive for the long term, we need support from ALL communities that support the preservation of Black land and understand the importance of Black farmers.
Our goal is to raise $20,000 to sustain our important agriculture, youth education, and community work:
$5,000 will allow us to build a small greenhouse so that we can grow food in the off season and prepare for the next growing season. Producing affordable healthy food for our community is what our goal is! $15,000 will allow us to build refrigeration for our produce to double the number of community members we serve every week.
When our communities come together, what is the common denominator that is included when we congregate? FOOD. We eat it, share it, and experience it together.
Urban farming in our communities is not only a way for us to come together, but to learn around something we all love, and that is food. Capitalism has made us love what can be extravagant about food, but we have lost the appreciation for what food gives us regardless. We never question where our food comes from and how it was prepared before we consume it, urban farming can give us that peace. Please donate to help Mill Creek Farm raise $20,000 and share with your friends and family. Happy Harvest!
Mill Creek Farm is in the Mill Creek Neighborhood on unceded Lenape Land, serving zip codes of 19104, 19151, 19139, and 19143.
