At Yes Farm we are developing out 1.5 acres of space along I-5 at Yesler Terrace for community building, educational programming, and growing our farm co-op. We have a community garden where our neighbors live in Yesler Terrace garden inaccessible raised beds. Elders and youth and their families all have an opportunity to grow their own food, be outside, and build community with one another. We actively work with Yesler Terrace community partners to develop educational programs for youth, share the stories and knowledge of our elders growing in the garden, and share our greenspace with this diverse community. We also grow food and share growing space with Black urban farmers from around Seattle, with all the produce going directly to BIPOC-led and owned organizations, businesses, and mutual aid efforts to feed our community and support economic development. We are modeling sustainable urban agriculture centered around the needs of the communities of color whom are likely to experience the impacts of health disparities as a result of food apartheid, redlining and grentrification, and systemic oppression as a result of white supremacy. Access to greenspaces to recreate safely, knowledge of growing food and food justice, and opportunities to connect and grow with communities are key to generating healing.
