Philadelphia Community Farm

About Philadelphia Community Farm

Celebrating our 21st season, we are dedicated to CSA, education in sustainable living, conservation and ecological restoration. Our resident community includes adults with special needs and we host many children for visits and service-learning in the garden and surrounding natural areas. Families are encouraged to bring their children to work, learn and play in nature…as we have also been pioneers in the movement to address nature deficit disorder in children. Through biodynamic agriculture we nurture the farm as a whole organism, building a regenerating circle of soil, plant, animal and human life. Located one hour northeast of the Twin Cities on the St. Croix River, we serve the St. Croix Valley and Twin Cities. Members take turns driving to bring shares to the drop-sites. Delivery to your home or business by Simple Provisions ([email protected]) can be arranged for an extra fee. Shares start in mid-June and go until Thanksgiving and include over 40 types of vegetables and herbs as they come into season. Extra vegetables for preserving are included when available. A solar/geothermal greenhouse extends our season. We donate surplus to food shelves. Benefits: visiting the animals, exploring the 300+ acres of preserved forest, prairie, streams and waterfall. Festivals are held in June and September. • Apprenticeship & Workshop Opportunities • We offer internships in biodynamic agriculture. Workshops will be offered again this year by Roald Gunderson of Whole Tree Architecture to teach sustainable forestry and to build using wood from our property.
