As a working farm, Fox Chase Farm is open to the public only during public events held at specific times throughout the year. These events afford opportunities to visit and explore the farm.
Additionally, the Fox Chase Farm is supported by the Pennypack Greenway Partnership, a group of nonprofit organizations and communities that work together to preserve, expand and restore the natural areas along the Pennypack Creek.
