Our Growing Practices
Mill Creek Farm partners with the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society’s City Harvest program to grow food. At our farm, health begins with the soil. Healthy soil produces healthy food that will nourish healthy bodies. We do not use synthetic chemical pesticides, herbicides, or GMO products. Sustainable farming practices such as crop rotation, cover cropping, companion planting, and good old fashioned hand weeding are implemented to maintain and improve soil health.
Farmers' Markets
From July through November, you can purchase produce:
- Saturdays from noon - 3 pm, at the farm on 49th and Brown Street
- Wednesdays from noon - 4 pm, at the Haddington Farmer’s Market at 52nd & Haverford Ave.
We accept Farmers’ Market Nutrition Program (FMNP) vouchers, ACCESS cards, and “Philly Food Bucks.”
