In the second of this two-part series, we are continuing to highlight Growing for Good, a partnership between PCC Community Markets, Harvest Against Hunger, and Seattle Neighborhood Farmers Markets that provides funds to hunger relief agencies to purchase fresh produce from local farms. 

We sat down with Kirsop Farm and White Center Food Bank to learn more about how Growing for Good has impacted their work. We first hear from Genine Bradwin of Kirsop Farm who produces and raises livestock on 60 acres of land at the Scatter Creek Farm and Conservancy in Rochester. Genine and Colin sell diversified vegetables, dry beans, grains, pork, lamb and chicken through their CSA, online store, at Farmers Markets throughout the Seattle area and to food banks including White Center Food Bank. 

In the second half of the episode, we sit down with Carmine and Mike with White Center Food Bank to hear about their experiences working with Growing for Good and local farms including Kirsop Farm. Note: This episode was recorded in March 2024 and some information may be out of date.
