    • Mission

    Fox Chase Farm is dedicated to engaging learners of all ages through hands-on agricultural experiences, innovative technologies, and education in sustainable practices. We aim to cultivate awareness of farming’s vital role in society, empower future agricultural leaders, and foster a deeper understanding of the interconnectedness of food, land, and community. By expanding Career and Technical Education pathways, developing student apprenticeships and internships, integrating nutrition and food science education, and leveraging advanced agricultural technologies, we prepare students for careers in AgTech, sustainability, and food production. Through these efforts, Fox Chase Farm serves as a transformative learning hub that connects education, industry, and environmental stewardship.

    About Us

    Fox Chase Farm is operated by the School District of Philadelphia as a demonstration farm and educational center and is the Philadelphia School District’s Hub of Agricultural Education for Pre-K through 12th grade students. Fox Chase Farm is one of two working farms in the city of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Formerly owned by the Wistar family, the farm is located at 8500 Pine Road in the Fox Chase neighborhood of Northeast Philadelphia on the border with Montgomery County. The farm gradually became surrounded by the city's residential neighborhoods and was purchased by the city in 1975. It is now run as an educational farm by the School District of Philadelphia. Fox Chase Farm is a living classroom where students of all ages connect with nature, agriculture and each other through hands-on learning that cultivates curiosity, career exploration and experiences, responsibility and a deeper understanding of the food system.
