Winter season work at Elk Run Farm continues! Growing veggies is only part of the work that we do at the farm and winter is prime time to do the rest.
We are expanding our growing space for the 2018 season and we'll need your help getting it ready for planting. Join us as we build new beds, set up additional irrigation along with upkeeping our main veggie field.
Fulfill those community service hours, spend the day outside with your family and learn the inner workings of a farm!

About Elk Run Farm

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.
