Gift basket of Fig Jam, Raspberry Jam, and Peaches
Donated by Preston's Paradise community farm in West Philly

Preston’s Paradise is a resource center for improving community health, happiness, and sustainability.  Our mission is to assist groups of neighbors in increasing their own self-sufficiency and inter-reliance.

The name Preston’s Paradise started a few years ago when some of our neighbors were sitting around admiring the fine work they’d accomplished on Preston St. in West Philadelphia.  “This is like paradise!” Now we’re taking that feeling and spreading it to other blocks.

Preston's Paradise operates in four main programmatic areas:  food security, neighborhood beautification, natural building, and energy conservation.  But primarily we work at being good neighbors with skills and a community to share.
