Green Initiative In Chestnut Hill

Please check out a new blog for sustainability and many things green in Chestnut Hill. Here is a synopsis.

"Welcome to the new Chestnut Hill Green Space. The Green Initiative in Chestnut Hill, aka GRINCH, is a new group interested in furthering sustainable practices in the beautiful Chestnut Hill area of Philadelphia. We are hoping that this will become a forum for all things green happening in our area and also, to join forces, share information and promote our efforts."

Jenny Reed created the blog and will be posting pertinent information along with our ChefAmy.
We hope that this new blog will be a helpful addition to others for networking in Chestnut Hill.

A Little Farm in the Big City, 170 Years Young

I found this using Google Reader. It is on The Atlantic blog.

I think this is inspiring for those working diligently trying to establish farming in urban areas. The closer we are to our healthy organic food the more efficient and rich our lives.

For one local attempt at reclaiming unused urban land as well as other environmentally responsible projects feel free to take a look at Green Village Philadelphia

What is all this talk about “sustainable” and “green” and why should I care?

Come and find out at this informative community event. Professor Rob Fleming will help us unravel the facts from the fray and set us straight toward a path of understanding and action.

Professor Rob Fleming's thesis project, The Seeds of Sustainability set the stage for a lifelong research pursuit dedicated to better understanding, promoting and visualizing a sustainable future. In 2006, Professor Fleming assumed the role of program director for the Master of Science in Sustainable Design. The program, one of a handful in the country, began in 2007. We are lucky to have him in our community. Please take advantage of this fantastic opportunity. All business and community members are welcome! To make sure that we have enough chairs and refreshments, please RSVP to president@mtairybiz.com.

Buy Fresh Buy Local


We support local Lancaster farmers through the Lancaster Farm Fresh Co-op. We now buy all of our liquid dairy from them! Not only does the dairy travel less saving energy but it is also hormone free!
