City Sprouts Farm, a program of WWU’s Center for Community Learning, produces four to five tons of produce each year, bound for the tables of nearby residents and WWU's food pantry.
The farm is staffed by WWU students growing up to 80 varieties of crops on a half-acre in the Birchwood neighborhood.
Located on land owned by the Kulshan Community Land Trust, the farm gives students a chance to put into practice their academic interests in sustainable development, urban planning and food policy. It's also a valuable source of fresh vegetables in a neighborhood short on grocery stores.
About half this year's produce will be sold in a sliding-scale CSA program, while the rest will be distributed through WWU's WHOLE food pantry as well as nonprofit partners like Sea Mar Community Health Center and the Birchwood Food Desert Fighters.
