Fox Chase Farm is bisected by the border of Philadelphia, and our Walk Around Philadelphia perimeter-walkers generally walk by it without stopping. Let's go there to check it out during their upcoming Conservation Day!
The event runs 10-2 and you can stop by anytime, but if you'd like to join Walk Around Philadelphia organizer JJ Tiziou, he plans on catching the regional rail scheduled to depart 30th St Station at 10:25am to arrive at Fox Chase Station at 1:05am and then walk the ~1.2 miles to the farm from there.
