If you are going to network, why not network for a cause! Mix and mingle with professionals from around the city while helping to support food justice in West Philly. The event includes hors d’oeuvres, wine, and a raffle.

Mill Creek Farm’s mission is to improve local access to fresh produce, build a healthy community and environment, and promote a just and sustainable food system. The Farm implements its mission through farm-based learning programs, by cultivating and distributing fresh produce, and by demonstrating ecological technologies and creative resource use to provide for basic needs. As activists for food justice they assert: that everyone has a right to affordable, healthy, quality, culturally appropriate food that is accessed in a way that is community-controlled, environmentally sustainable, and socially just.

The Mill Creek Farm (MCF) is located at 4901 Brown Street in the Mill Creek Neighborhood of West Philadelphia. Part of the site has been home to a thriving community garden for over 25 years and the rest of the lot had been vacant for over 30 years. Thanks to funds allocated by the Philadelphia Water Department in partnership with the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society, the land was awarded in the summer of 2005 to begin a formal urban farm.
