Philadelphia Community Farm

Philadelphia Community Farm logo

Philadelphia Community Farm (PCF) was established in 1989 as a nonprofit, rural-based intentional community dedicated to restoring health and vitality to people, land, animals, and ecosystems. Located in the St. Croix River Valley in Polk County, Wisconsin, PCF has stewarded its land for over three decades as a place of learning, healing, and collective care. The farm sits on occupied land of the Anishinaabe, Dakota, and Ho-Chunk Nations, and its work is grounded in respect for Indigenous land stewardship and long-term conservation. From its earliest years, PCF has operated as an intergenerational and multi-abled life-sharing community, offering permanent homes and meaningful roles for people with disabilities while cultivating a culture of interdependence, shared responsibility, and mutual care. Over time, PCF evolved into a BIPOC- and LGBTQ+-led organization, intentionally centering queer, trans, Black, Indigenous, and other historically marginalized people in leadership, governance, and community life. As PCF grew, its work expanded beyond farming into a holistic model integrating regenerative agriculture, land-based education, conservation, arts, and cultural practice. The organization now stewards over 1,550 acres of protected farmland, forest, and prairie through conservation partnerships, ensuring long-term access to healthy land for future generations. PCF has also become a vital bridge between under-resourced rural communities and urban partners in the Twin Cities, creating space for cultural exchange, organizing, and collective resilience. Today, PCF is recognized as a rare LGBTQ+-affirming, QTBIPOC-led rural organization that combines food sovereignty, environmental justice, disability justice, and cultural preservation. Its long history of land stewardship, life-sharing, and community-led governance positions PCF as both a trusted local resource and a living model for more just, inclusive, and sustainable futures.
