We would like to invite you to participate in this year’s Harvest on Henry (HOH), the fifth annual farm festival brought to you by Weavers Way Co-op and Philadelphia’s W. B. Saul Agricultural High School. HOH 2015 takes place on Saturday, October 17th, with a projected public attendance of over a thousand people. In recent years, Weavers Way has distinguished itself among co-ops nationally by establishing two pioneering urban farms. Both farms are located within the city limits of Philadelphia, and have grown deep connections to their surrounding communities. Each farm functions as a platform for innovative educational programs that link local food production to community health and well-being, environmental responsibility, productive local economies, and vibrant neighborhoods. The farm at Saul, “Henry Got Crops,” has evolved as a close partnership between Weavers Way Co-op, a member-owned full-service grocery business with two locations in NW Philadelphia, and W.B. Saul Agricultural High School, a unique Philadelphia public magnet school in Roxborough. The 2 ½-acre farm is used to teach small-scale organic vegetable growing and operates as a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture), supplying over 100 members every year with shares of weekly harvests throughout the growing season. The farm is sustained by the hard work and extraordinary commitment of Saul faculty and students, dedicated staff from Weavers Way Co-op and Weavers Way Community Programs, and countless volunteers. The 2-acre “Mort Brooks Memorial Farm” is the Co-op’s production farm on the grounds of the Awbury Arboretum in Germantown. It also serves as an outdoor classroom for experiential study offered by Weavers Way Community Programs to area schools and visiting student groups. Both farms are immensely valuable to the communities they serve, bringing diverse groups of people together in a spirit of collaboration, entrepreneurship and learning . And yet, while similar initiatives are on the rise throughout the country, the struggle to keep them financially viable remains a daunting challenge. Your contribution to Harvest on Henry improves access to fresh, healthy food for our community, and provides vital support for the education of thousands of children, young adults, and residents from all walks of life across Philadelphia. Kindly review the enclosed materials for the different ways to participate, and consider contributing to Harvest on Henry this year. Your support will provide critical support directly to our farms and is not tax-deductible, though with deepest gratitude we will be very pleased to associate your organization publicly with our work. Please refer to the enclosed packet for details or contact HOH Event Coordinator Bettina de Caumette for assistance: [email protected] / 215-843-2350 x118. Sincere thanks,

Jon Roesser General Manager
