Novick Urban Farm is an educational production farm located on 1.3 acres in South Philadelphia, with a dual mission of providing healthy food access

and education. With a focus on community outreach through our low cost farm market, we are dedicated to supporting and preserving food traditions that reflect the multi-cultural landscape of our neighborhood. The farm’s educational programs provide both children’s groups and people of all ages with hands-on experiences focused on sustainability, biodiversity, and nutrition. Headquartered in Philadelphia’s historic food district with offices in Baltimore, Novick Corporation provides food, essentials, and support services for childcare, education, adult care, healthcare, treatment facilities, and hunger-relief organizations. What began as an outdoor space with six raised bed demonstration boxes for childcare centers to bring children to get hands-on learning about food production is now a full-scale urban farm on 1.5 acres committed to offering *educational programming* and *community-centered farming and accessible food distribution* in the heart of South Philadelphia.

Throughout the season we have students create colorful signs for the garden! We are very clear: these do not have to be realistic, if you want to draw a rainbow pepper surrounded by hearts, that’s your artistic right! 🌈🌈

These signs help visitors navigate the garden, assist young writers in spelling the names of vegetables, and allow children to create something that lasts, even if they can’t take it home.

personally the long bean sign is my favorite, what’s yours?
