Since the Friends of RBUFW and Seattle Tilth were awarded the operatorship of the site in June 2011, the Rainier Beach Urban Farm and Wetlands has become the hub and home for the following:
-
East African Senior
Farming project
-
Ground Up
Organics/Seattle Parks STEP youth employment program
-
Rainier Valley Eats
campaign; a component of the national Hunger Free Communities program of the
USDA
-
A robust volunteer
and internship program
-
Field trip
destination site for four schools in the immediate vicinity of the farm
-
Work share agreements
with local commercial growers
In March, alone, there were over 50
events on-site and over 65 volunteers contributed nearly 400 hours of support
to the farm development.
