Nice Roots Farm

Share Food Program also operates Nice Roots Farm, a demonstration garden that shows people how to grow food in the city (urban agriculture in Philadelphia). The farm provides local, chemical-free, and affordable produce to the Philadelphia community. Some of the produce grown at the farm also goes to soup kitchens that partner with Share.

If you are an urban grower, you can buy affordable lumber, soil, compost, plants, and seeds from Nice Roots. These materials can help you start your own raised bed garden! Check out the Nice Roots Farm Blog for more information.
