We are up to 0ver 4,000 pounds - Thanks volunteers and Tree Donors!
Apples, pears, and plums!  This last month of the harvest has certainly been abundant.  We are so grateful to everyone who has contributed - the tree donors who have shared their bounty, the volunteers who have shared their time, and the dedication of our harvest coordinator, Aaron Hernandez, for making it happen.  It's been a great season - we have far surpassed our goal.
 
Psomizo Harvests
 The Psomizo garden, which was planted on the grounds of the West Seattle Christian Church this spring, is flourishing.
A total of 325 pounds of vegetables have been harvested and donated to the food bank from this bountiful garden: swiss chard, peas, squash, tomatoes, and lots more. A winter garden has now been planted:  giant curled mustard, beets, carrots, and of course bok choy. AND, there is now Psomizo II - in the Admiral neighborhood. A friend of Community Harvest has allowed us to use her space to grow more fall crops. Thanks Daris!!
Our Mission
Community Harvest of Southwest Seattle increases access to urban fruits and vegetables for all of our neighbors in West Seattle and White Center. We do this through:
  • Harvesting the abundance of our neighborhood residential fruit trees
  • Providing classes to help people learn to grown their own healthy food
  • Facilitating ways for gardeners to contribute produce to food banks
  • Growing food gardens for those with limited access to fresh produce
  • Providing canning and tree care classes for the community
We believe that everyone deserves affordable access to the foods which will promote a healthy life.
