The Ruth Bennett Community Farm is an educational farm and environmental education center. Recognizing the need for greater food security and community health over the past decade, the Chester Housing Authority created a two-acre community farm on vacant land at the Ruth L. Bennett Homes. We are dedicated to improving access to nutrient dense foods at affordable prices to residents in the immediate Chester Housing Authority community and surrounding neighborhoods. We also provide opportunities for residents of the housing authority and interested public to participate in health and wellness activities, job-readiness and beginning farmer training. We seek to promote a thriving and diverse environmental ecosystem for community members to enjoy.
The Chester Housing Authority makes a show of gratitude to the communities which welcome its service during the holiday season. Program partners and staff put on a Holiday Village that has now become a CHA tradition. Participants also collect toys for CHA children through the donations of St. Luke’s Greek Orthodox Church in Broomall.
