About Chipping Hill Micro Farms
CHMF and our mission
Chipping Hill Micro Farms (CHMF) is a nonprofit organization bringing the farm to
Philadelphia region PreK and Head Start classrooms. CHMF uses mobile greenhouse
facilities for PreK Counts PA, teaching 3 classes per day, five days a week.
CHMF aims to use any remaining funds to provide healthier meals to the children during
their off-weeks. Since the program usually meets every other week, there is currently a week in between where the children are receiving the standard meals. CHMF also plans to use any remaining funds to supplement healthier meals during this period. This produce would be locally sourced whenever possible; CHMF will work with the Blue Moon Acres, Maximuck’s Farm, Bucks-Mont Hydroponics, and the Leola Produce Market, all of which are year-round producers, to make this a reality. In the Spring and Fall, we will additionally get produce from small Pennsylvania farmers as well.
