Subject: Commercial Urban Farming in Fairmount Park

Hi everyone. It looks like the Fairmount Park Farm Business Park is opening for business. Below are some details along with a link to the Request for Information, which will supposedly be available at the end of today. If you’d like more details, please contact Marc Wilken directly. He’s been through a lot of up’s and down’s on getting support for this initiative, but he is not a quitter and a great ally to have. I’m sure he’ll be receptive to any urban farming business plan any of you have.
--Roxanne

Dear Urban Farming Entrepreneurs,

The City of Philadelphia is issuing a Request for Information to gather indications of interest and experience in operating and managing sub-acre commercial, chemical-free farming plots on a City property called Manatawna Farm, located at 100 Spring Lane, Philadelphia, PA 19131. This initiative is intended to foster sustainable, urban agricultural businesses in Philadelphia and further the growth of a regional food system. Additionally this effort is meant to support Mayor Nutter’s food initiative, Philadelphia Food Charter, which calls for the use of City-owned spaces for urban agriculture, and Mayor Nutter’s sustainability plan, Greenworks Philadelphia, which recommends 12 commercial agriculture projects be established in the City by 2015. Please see the attached Letter of Intent for additional information about this program. Applications and instructions for this Request for Information will be posted on the following websites no later than the close of business on Monday, April 22: http://www.phila.gov/rfp/ and http://www.fairmountpark.org.

We look forward to hearing from you.

All the best,
Marc Wilken
Park Concessions Manager

I'd also love to work with some folks on this.  I have a bit of
experience... and some ideas... and plenty of enthusiasm... but no
start-up capital.  So if anyone wants help with a project, or just
wants to get a group together and hash one out, please let me know as
well!

Hi J and B,

I'm definitely intersted in taking a closer look at this.  My fiance
and I did a sub-acre plot and sold at area markets this past year for
the first time.  It went pretty well!  We'd definitely be in to
expanding a bit.  If you guys don't mind, I'd love to be involved with
your Friday meet-up.  Let me know if you that's okay!
