Welcome to
MILL CREEK URBAN FARM
Founded in 2005, Mill Creek Urban Farm is an educational urban farm that is led by people of color. We cultivate and distribute fresh produce, host farm-based learning programs for people of all ages, and demonstrate ecological technologies to provide for basic needs.
Located at 49th and Brown Streets in West Philadelphia, we are dedicated to improving local access to fresh, chemical-free produce at sustainably low-cost for the immediate Mill Creek community and surrounding neighborhoods. We are dedicated to building a healthy community and environment and promoting a just and sustainable food system.
Statement of Condolences from the Members of Mill Creek Urban Farm
The members of Mill Creek Urban Farm send our sincerest condolences to the family and loved ones of our beloved sister, Nyambi Royster.
Nyambi has been a beloved member of the Mill Creek Urban Farm family, a strong advocate for the community, and a loyal supporter of our people worldwide. Her smile and vibrant spirit brightened whatever room she entered and her open heart left no one feeling like an outsider. She was fiercely loyal and committed to those she embraced as her "family", and extended support, positivity, an affirming smile and a warm embrace.
Sister Nyambi will be sorely missed and her absence deeply felt. We thank you, Sister Nyambi, for your dedicated service, compassion, commitment, and selflessness in service to Mill Creek Urban Farm and because of you, love and self-determination, along with fresh produce and vegetables, grow from the soil of Mill Creek Urban Farm.
Rest beloved, thank you for sharing part of your journey with us,
The Mill Creek Urban Farm Board
