Greensgrow Philadelphia Project is an experiment in urban farming. The farm was built on the site of an abandoned galvanized steel plant. Their mission-here and all over Philadelphia-is the redevelopment of abandoned land parcels (or "brownfields") as green businesses. Every year they harvest thousands of pounds of gourmet vegetables that are served at Philadelphia's finest dining establishments. Every year they welcome visitors and students who want to learn more about urban agriculture. Â And every year Greensgrow's annuals, perennials, vegetable plants and flowers find their way into homes, gardens and public spaces across the city. At Greensgrow they truly reap what we sow. Greensgrow Philadelphia Project's home-the Greensgrow Farm in Kensington-is just five minutes from Center city Philadelphia. A former brownfield site, it was cleaned up by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). It sat empty for eight years until they took it over in March 1998.
