The Philadelphia Orchard Project (POP) is a small nonprofit based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, that collaborates with community groups and volunteers to plan and plant orchards of useful and edible plants. It provides orchard design guidance, plant materials, and training in orchard care, with community organizations owning, maintaining, and harvesting the trees and crops. The initiative aims to expand community-based food production, offer environmental benefits, and support nature education in neighborhoods where access to fresh fruit is limited.

POP focuses on installing orchards in formerly vacant lots, community gardens, schoolyards, and similar spaces, prioritizing low-wealth urban areas lacking fruit access. The organization serves local community groups and lead volunteers as its primary partners, delivering planning support and capacity-building to address food access and neighborhood resilience. In March 2026, POP named Vikram Krishnamurthy as Executive Director, a notable leadership development for the organization.
