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.
Youth Powered
Our youth program runs from Spring and Summer. We engage youth in learning opportunities about food systems and racial and social equity. These learning opportunities include training in farming techniques, experience in the food industry, and formation as entrepreneurs.
Engaging our local business community
Resistencia Coffee in South Park trains neighborhood youth in barista skills and business development.
