Urban Farming Opportunities
The City of Philadelphia is issuing a Request for Information to gather indications of interest and experience in operating and managing sub-acre commercial, chemical-free farming plots on a City property called Manatawna Farm, located at 100 Spring Lane, Philadelphia, PA 19131. This effort is meant to support Mayor Nutter’s food initiative, Philadelphia Food Charter, which calls for the use of City-owned spaces for urban agriculture, and Mayor Nutter’s sustainability plan, GreenWorks Philadelphia, which recommends 12 commercial agriculture projects be established in the City by 2015.
Please see the Letter of Intent for additional information about this program. Applications and instructions for this Request for Information will be posted no later than the close of business on Monday, April 22 on http://www.phila.gov/rfp/ and http://www.fairmountpark.org.
