Sanctuary Farm Phila

Sanctuary Farm Phila is a Philadelphia-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit urban farm that combines food access, community programming, and health-oriented services rather than developing drugs or medical products. The organization grows and distributes fresh produce, operates produce-stand and produce-prescription programs, and offers classes in nutrition, cooking, gardening, and related wellness topics. Its mission is centered on addressing health inequities linked to systemic racial and economic injustice in North Philadelphia by converting neglected land into productive community spaces. Sanctuary Farm also runs therapeutic gardening and youth-focused programming, and it has been referenced as a partner in a Nemours clinical study evaluating a produce-prescription intervention for adolescents with overweight and obesity. For a biotech analyst, this is best understood as a community health nonprofit with social-determinants-of-health and food-as-medicine activities, not a biotech or pharma company.
