MicroFarms - The foundation for a sustainable food system

MicroFarms consist of many Raised Vegetable Garden Beds. Raised Vegetable Garden Beds have many advantages over standard in-ground vegetable gardens, including:

  • Nearly twice the production per square foot as a standard garden
  • Vastly improved soil structure
  • Easier pest control
  • Improved drainage
  • Increased soil temperatures
  • Longer growing season

Raised Beds range in size from 1.5' x 3' to 4' x 12', and are filled with only the finest, blackest, most fertile soil around. We offer an extensive line of Vegetable Crops that we can grow in your new MicroFarm!

Implementing raised bed gardens into the urban landscape is the first step towards creating a sustainable food system in Seattle. There are currently 3,427,000 people living in the Seattle metropolitan area. If each person comsumes an average of two lbs of food per day, and no food is produced within the city, then 6,854,000 lbs of food must be trucked or flown into the city each and every day. The amount of carbon emissions associated with this are staggering. Building MicroFarms today is a solid investment in Seattle's sustainability.
