Elk Run Farm is hosting drop-in work parties this summer every Wednesday from 4 pm - 7 pm. This is a great opportunity to get your hands dirty and learn about farming while growing fresh, healthy produce for the food banks of South King County. Feel free to stop by for as long as you'd like, as often as you'd like. Kids are welcome! Formerly part of the Elk Run Golf Course in Maple Valley, Elk Run Farm is a brand new, nonprofit farm that is working to provide food for some of the areas most vulnerable families. This year, thousands of pounds of fresh and organic produce will be produced and distributed by The South King County Food Coalition to 12 area food banks, including the Maple Valley Food Bank.

Mission Statement
Elk Run Farm is dedicated to growing and distributing healthy, organic produce for local food banks. Combined with education and community engagement, Elk Run is committed to serving the needs of its customers both in body and mind.
Description
Elk Run Farm is a partnership between 12 food banks of the South King County Food Coalition, Seattle-King County Public Health, WSU Extension, and Tahoma High School that addresses inequitable access to healthy foods for low-income families while promoting sustainable urban agriculture. Produce grown at Elk Run Farm, a former golf course, is distributed through South King County food banks to those in the community who can least afford it and live in areas where access to healthy food is limited.
