Come volunteer at our food bank farm! We are looking for volunteers on Tuesdays, from 9am-12pm. Volunteer tasks include harvesting food, pruning, weeding, and more!
CitySoil Farm is an urban farm located in Renton, at the South Wastewater Treatment Plant. We used recycled water to grow over 5,000 lbs of food for the White Center Food Bank every year.
We are looking for volunteers to come to the farm on a weekly basis and help with harvesting, planting, weeding, and more. Volunteer shifts are currently available on Tuesdays from 9am-12pm, though we can work with your schedule somewhat.

Families and friends can volunteer together, we also often host corporate groups for service day events.
In accordance with King County volunteer policies, all volunteers will need to be vaccinated for COVID-19.
Proof of vaccination will be required on the first day of volunteering.

Mission Statement
CitySoil Farm is an urban space devoted to environmental education and resource recycling to promote community food systems with imagination. Our mission is to help people make informed decisions and develop innovative solutions for food challenges. We view ourselves as partners with our community and environment, providing a platform for shared knowledge, non-traditional land-use, and the art of salvage.
Description
CitySoil Farm (formerly known as the Seattle University Sustainable Urban Agriculture Project) is a 1.5 acre farm located at the King County Wastewater Treatment Plant in Renton, which means that the site is rather unique in being not just urban but also industrial.
Our vision of the future is one where both formal and informal education leads to increased public-private partnerships, community participation and innovation, and ecologically and socially sustainable food systems.
