Clean Greens Farm and Market
Clean Greens Farm and Market was established to supply fresh, wholesome produce to families in need in Seattle’s Central District and other communities. Some of these communities do not have access to healthy produce, and are located in what is known as food deserts. Most residents in these areas have a higher rate of poor diet related illnesses such as diabetes, high blood pressure and cholesterol. The number of obesity cases is also on the rise. Our market is committed to delivering quality produce to those families who otherwise would not have access to it.
Founded in 2007 by Rev. Robert L. Jeffrey, Sr., Clean Greens helps to educate our communities on healthy eating and food justice. We also offer affordable produce with our CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) program. Through this program, all residents are able to purchase fresh produce directly from our local farm, located in Duvall, WA, just 25 miles outside of Seattle. Our produce is often harvested the same day it is delivered. As we grow our programs, we hope to create jobs for our community that are both environmentally and economically sustainable. Through our food justice work, we are able to build partnerships and forge meaningful relationships throughout Seattle, with sister organizations working in other states, and abroad.
