Media & Chester

Hillside Farm — established in spring 2009 at Elwyn's Media Campus in Delaware County, PA — includes a Community Supported Agriculture initiative and innovative educational programming for both kids and adults. Elwyn and Greener Partners have teamed up with the shared goal of making better use of Elwyn's open space, some of the last in Delaware County.

In addition to a CSA program, Hillside Farm hosts events and Lost Arts workshops to educate community members about nutrition, healthy living and a host of home-scale sustainable practices such as composting and home food preservation. Hillside also sells produce at the Media Farmers' Market and is a site for Greener Partners Farm Camps.

In 2011 Hillside Farm will expand cultivation to add six more acres of land, for a total of 10, allowing us to grow our presence at the Media Farmers' Market and to increase the number of CSA Shares offered to 140. Additionally, we're working to create a direct connection to the city of Chester through offering Community Supported Shares and expanding our youth educational programming.

CSA Shares are now available for the 2012 Season. Please visit our CSA page for more information on Membership at Hillside Farm or sign up online here.

We offer work shares at Hillside Farm where members commit to a weekly work schedule on the farm in exchange for a full share of produce. Please contact us for more information.

Hillside Farm is located at 111 Elwyn Rd, Media, PA.
