North Philly is totally lacking in proper supermarkets to provide its residents with fresh produce, but one area of Kensington is hoping to change that.

Greensgrow Farms on E. Cumberland St. provides its neighbors with fresh produce from its one acre plot and other farms from the region. Greensgrow also makes it own honey, labeled “Honey From the Hood”.

The local farm has been at its Kensington location since 1998. It is open for the summer season daily at 10 a.m. except for Mondays. Flowers and plants are also available from Greensgrows nursery.

A recent New York Times article took a look at the urban garden and what it’s trying to do for the local community.
