Text of the page (random words):
er june 3 2008 instead of fighting hunger with grocery store handouts some see part of the solution in gardens apartment balconies and front yards over the past five years the amount of fruit and vegetables grown or harvested in seattle neighborhoods for food banks and meal programs has doubled to more than 44 000 pounds though just a fraction of what fuels the emergency food pipeline it will help meet unprecedented needs this summer given rising prices and lines of low income people that have ballooned since the holidays it s really key to our success said rick jump executive director of the white center food bank which has seen its weekly demand increase by nearly 40 percent in the past several months we re all out there striving to find resources soon the food bank will start getting apples and plums from west seattle yards part of a neighborhood fruit tree harvest program pioneered four years ago by solid ground a social service organization there will also be fresh vegetables from gardens worked by community harvest of southwest seattl e a new volunteer group also offering canning gardening and tree care classes at senior centers and local grocery stores we re trying to increase access to local fresh fruits and vegetables not only by providing them but also by teaching people how to grow and preserve their own said founder and west seattle resident aviva furman at city hall conversations are under way to figure out how to expand programs enabling low income gardeners to sell produce directly to urban consumers generally it s illegal to sell from city p patches except for a small market garden program allowing immigrant farmers in public housing developments to sell weekly bags of greens and produce even foodies are struggling to shed some of the movement s preciousness peopled by those with the time to debate local vs organic or make handmade truffle pasta from scratch and become more egalitarian unfortunately people can get really snotty about where their food comes from said willi galloway a seattle tilth board member who has worked to spread organic gardening to lower income communities it s something that s fun that everyone can do and i hope our city becomes a place where everyone has a place to grow their food regardless of income at a recent container gardening class at the white center food bank regina bash scooped dirt from the bed of a pickup truck with a yogurt cup and poured it into a bucket she planted a sturdy tomato plant in one pot with salad greens carrots and radishes sharing another there were discussions on the best way to pick sweet peas often and protect roots carefully experts answered questions on the science of propagation and the art of watering at the end bash carefully loaded one pot in a backpack stuffed the other in a rolling duffel bag and headed toward the bus stop i ve always wanted cherry tomatoes because i love them said bash who lives in an apartment with no yard but i have a balcony so my little patio is waiting for me when i get home a few blocks away at newly renovated white center heights park 17 virgin garden plots will be tended by local residents and food bank clients this summer katie rains a former rat city rollergirl has volunteered to grow vegetables and herbs specifically for the food bank they get a lot of produce donations said the 25 year old evergreen state college student but the things they re not getting are more of the cultural foods bok choy chinese cabbage cilantro peppers eggplant immigrant farmers at seattle housing authority developments such as new holly and high point have been selling produce out of community gardens there for the last decade now the city neighborhoods department that oversees p patches and community gardens is considering how to widen the program to include other low income gardeners that could involve making more land available or creating farm stands or other means to distribute local produce but a major expansion would likely require partners from the private sector said rich macdonald the p patch program manager one complication is a state ban on allowing people to profit from public resources that s why some have entertained creating market gardens or urban agriculture training programs on private land owned by churches individuals or other community organizations it s a nice stable little program but it s little macdonald said of the market garden program and it s hard to imagine without a lot of resources that it would get much bigger paul haas development director for solid ground has just that kind of ambitious goal acquire 100 acres over the next 10 years for food bank low income and immigrant farmers the thing that s been lacking in this is a great tangible vision like the kennedy space program he said it starts with here s two acres we have this site let s do it last week emiko keller stopped by west seattle s high point market garden on the first day of the season picking up a bag of parsley spinach tah tsoi greens radishes bok choy and salad fixings high point market garden her family splits a half share which costs 310 for roughly four months with a neighbor down the street i like the feeling of this kind of community she said after giving gardener hien vinh nguyen a warm hug and i like the fact that i get things i don t normally see at the store the garden s proceeds will be split among five families this year including nguyen s a former south vietnamese army officer he spent 13 years in a hanoi prison where he grew beans rice potatoes and vegetables on the prison farm in 1994 he immigrated to seattle and helped build two community gardens at high point it s extra money for the low income people and the customers are so happy he said it s good for all the residents related articles urban farming sprouts in seattle overlooked nooks and crannies colonized to grow food urban agriculture in seattle longfellow creek
