Backyard/Veggie Gardening Group in Philly Suburbs?

Hi, I live in the Philly suburbs and I have a backyard vegetable and fruit garden. I'm looking to find a group of like-minded organic gardeners in my area but so far have struck out. Any suggestions? I know there's an organic gardening group in Churchville but that's 40 minutes from me.

Where in the philly suburbs are you located? It would help trying to find some like minded people if we knew the area you are interested in.

Maybe you should consider starting a group if none exists already. I am unfamiliar with that area so can't be much help.
