About this organization
Mission
The Philadelphia Orchard Project (POP) plants community orchards in the city of Philadelphia that grow healthy food and provide green spaces. POP works with dozens of community-based groups who own, maintain, and harvest the orchards. Thousands of low-income residents benefit from food and green space.
About
POP works with community-based groups and volunteers to plan and plant orchards filled with useful and edible plants. POP provides orchard design assistance, plant materials, and training in orchard care. Community organizations own, maintain, and harvest the orchards, expanding community-based food production, environmental benefits, and opportunities for nature education. Orchards are planted in formerly vacant lots, community gardens, schoolyards, and other spaces, almost exclusively in low-wealth neighborhoods where people lack access to fresh fruit.
