FOOD ACCESS
At City Sprouts Farm, we are dedicated to increasing access to locally grown food in our community.
We believe that nutritious, culterally appropriate food is a human right and our food systems must prioritize the availability of quality food to those in need. Our farm is located in Bellingham's largest low food access area (formally called a Food Desert) according to the USDA Food Research Atlas. We strive to make the vegetables we grow accessible to those who might not otherwise be able to access farm-fresh produce.
Here are some ways we advance food justice:
-
Donations to The Birchwood Food Desert Fighters weekly "Share Spot"
-
Weekly donations to Sea Mar Community Health Centers
-
Weekly dontations to WWU on-campus Food Pantries
-
We offer our CSA on a sliding scale and offer scholarships to family's in need.
-
We provide eductional opportunies for University students to learn about food justice to understand the structural inequity in our food system.
