Elmwood Eastwick Empowerment, Inc. (EEE), operating as the Black Farmers Co-op of Philadelphia, is a nonprofit organization dedicated to addressing food insecurity and promoting sustainable agriculture in under-resourced communities. Rooted in Southwest Philadelphia, EEE champions urban farming initiatives, educational programs, and community engagement to foster self-sufficiency and holistic well-being.

We are a dedicated farming organization focused on creating sustainable, community-driven solutions to improve food access, agricultural education, and environmental health. With a strong belief that everyone deserves access to fresh, locally grown food, we work alongside farmers, educators, and community members to build resilient food systems.

Our programs encompass hands-on training in regenerative agriculture, hydroponics, and urban farming, and provide resources for growing food in various environments, from rural farmlands to urban spaces. Through workshops, educational events, and community projects, we empower individuals of all ages with the knowledge and skills to grow their own food, understand the impact of sustainable farming, and contribute to a healthier planet.

-By fostering a culture of collaboration, we aim to bridge the gap between communities and their food sources, while promoting practices that support environmental stewardship and long-term agricultural sustainability. Together, we are sowing the seeds for a future where nutritious, responsibly grown food is within reach for all.
-Today, African American and people of color consumers do not have access to affordable healthy food.
-The problem is compounded further when you combine these challenges with food insecurity. Unfortunately nationwide, about 1 in 8 of your neighbors, go to bed hungry or face food insecurity.
-Black Framers Co-Op.org feels it can address these problems by connecting the local and regional black farmers with consumers who want and need fresh, pesticide-free food in their diet.
