Mission
Connecting communities through food, farms and education

Company Overview
Cultivating a better food system means rolling up our sleeves and getting our hands dirty. At Greener Partners, we’re dedicated to building community through sustainable farming and farm-based education, and our highest aim is to inspire individuals and families in greater Philadelphia to connect with farmers, the environment and each other. By linking our natural and social ecosystems, we seek to improve the health of our neighborhoods, our bodies and the earth, all while making tasty, locally grown food accessible to all.

Description
At Greener Partners, we believe local food is the best kind -- where those who eat it feel connection to the soil it's grown in and the people who cultivate it. In imagining a better food system, Greener Partners operates community Farm Hubs as resources for local produce and for education – as well as inspiration -- about food and farming. Our farmers grow vegetables, herbs and fruit for our own Farm Market, Community Supported Agriculture members and to sell at area farmers’ markets. Our education programs engage kids, both on our farms and in area schools, through programs like Seed to Snack™, The SOL Food Project and Greener Partners Summer Camps. To cross generations, we offer workshops for adults and families on the “lost arts” of our agricultural and cultural past that still are relevant and useful in our lives today.

We know that it will take many ideas and solutions to create a better food system. With that in mind, we manage a diverse range of projects throughout the Philadelphia region, and as a non-profit, we seek to make local food accessible by offering multiple ways of experiencing fresh, local food in our communities. Through our First Generation Farmer Program we are training the next generation of farmers to possess the necessary skills for cultivating a better food system.
