Top Quality Harvests, 100% Donated
Our Farm
We run a 350-acre certified-organic farm, growing top-quality vegetables, grassfed beef, pastured poultry and ready-to-plant seedlings, all for donation.
Great Food for People in Great Need
We donate all of our harvests to Philadelphia-area soup kitchens, food pantries, homeless shelters and hospitals.
We work closely with each partner: we plant what they need most, pick and pack to order, and deliver directly—free of charge.
“Carversville Farm has been a remarkable blessing to the food security needs in Southeast Philadelphia, their commitment to providing organic produce and proteins to the neighborhood throughout the pandemic has been one the biggest highlights of the past three years.”
Thoai Nguyen, CEO,
Seamaac
“Carversville Farm Foundation is a critical partner in our work. The exceptional organic food they donate enables us to provide nutritious, hot meals to families who can’t make ends meet. Carversville Farm Foundation’s generosity saves Cathedral Kitchen about $250,000 per year in food costs.”
Carrie Kitchen-Santiago, Executive Director,
Cathedral Kitchen
"Our lunchtime radical hospitality is made complete through our partnership with Carversville Farm, which allows us to fully realize our aim for dignity, respect, and community at our tables centered on lovingly grown certified organic ingredients from their incredible farm."
Laure Biron, CEO,
Broad Street Ministry

Seedlings Program
Plant Starts for Urban Farms
Each spring our greenhouses fill up not only with plants starts for our own fields, but also with tens of thousands of seedlings for peer non-profits.
We grow precisely what they request—specific varieties of eggplant, peppers, okra, watermelon, tomatoes, collards, cucumbers, tomatillos, chile peppers and more, free of charge—all delivered to urban farms, where they’ll grow up to nourish local communities.
Educational Tours
Jobs-Training & More
We support jobs-training programs that provide an empowering pathway out of poverty, welcoming cohorts from Cathedral Kitchen and Phildabundance for curriculum-centered, hands-on farm experiences that take their training to the next level.
