Working to increase access to fresh food in South Park, Seattle

South Park has been called a “food desert.” Access to healthy and fresh food is challenging.

 

Our mission is to increase access to healthy food in South Park by mobilizing our neighborhood’s resources, such as our farm, residents, businesses and community members.
