The Fair Amount Food Forest Coalition’s vision is to create a community-driven and defined, educational, openly harvested, public food forest integrating extensive demonstrations of sustainable design practices. Created on public land central to Philadelphia, this multi-faceted agriculture and learning center would exist as community space to gather; care for each other and the environment; grow fresh healthy food and practice fair share.

The Fair Amount Food Forest is intended to be source of inspiration, empowerment, knowledge, and, of course, food, while facilitating community participation in building, maintaining, and envisioning the future. A connection to nature and each other, a celebration of life. We can accomplish this together.
