From MillCreek Farm:
Dear Friends of MillCreek Farm,

We are writing to ask for your help ensure that we can continue our work. We are trying to get the land that the MillCreek Farm maintains along with the adjacent community garden, which has been around for over 30 years, put in a land trust with the Neighborhood Gardens Association (NGA) to protect it from future development. In order to do that, we need the support of Councilwoman JannieBlackwell to get the title transferred from the City of Philadelphia, which currently owns the property, to the NGA.

Please take a minute to send a message to Councilwoman Blackwell

If you prefer to type or handwrite a letter, we will gladly mail it for you. Please drop it off at the farm or contact us to pick it up.

Below is some sample text, but your message is stronger if you personalize it so please edit this and include your personal comments about the food, experience volunteering or visiting, or any other connection you have to the farm. If you send your comments by email and could send us a copy, we’d appreciate it: millcreekfarm@resist.ca.

Please be sure to include your name and address or other contact information and mention if you are a constituent.

Dear Councilwoman Blackwell,
I am writing to express my support of the MillCreek Farm in West Philadelphia. The project is an important resource for healthy food as well and education in the community. I understand that there is an effort under way to preserve the land that the MillCreek Farm maintains as well as the adjacent community garden as open space for food production through the Neighborhood Gardens Association. I hope that you will help support their important work by supporting the transfer of the title from the City to the land trust.
Thank you for your consideration.
