Rodale Institute recently celebrated a groundbreaking event to mark its partnership with Pennsylvania-based Phoebe Ministries to revitalize the Institute’s historic Founders Farm in Allentown, Pennsylvania.
Through this partnership, Phoebe Ministries—an organization dedicated to promoting healthy aging—will invest in the Institute’s Allentown campus to support the establishment of a regenerative organic production farm and agricultural programming that serves Phoebe’s community of residents as well as the region surrounding the campus.
