An urban farming program in the city expects to continue for at least five more years, teaching kids about healthy foods by actually growing them. Greener Partners has been working in Chester for over a decade, including a program at Chester Charter Scholars Academy, where the program had a garden last spring and fall. Greener Partners' mission is to strengthen community health through equitable fresh food access, abundant gardens and farms, and discovery-based learning. It was founded in 2008 to connect communities in the Philadelphia area to healthy food, farms and hand-on educational programs. What started as a group of parents with a half-acre that reached 200 kids that first year has grown to include food access and food education programs for more than 100,000 in the Delaware Valley.
