Wells Fargo’s generous support of an innovative urban agriculture project, spearheaded by Seattle University’s Environmental Studies program, is helping to put fresh produce on the table for families in need in the Puget Sound region. The aptly named Urban Farm, located on the site of the King County South Wastewater Treatment Plant, was created on unused land with the support of a $100,000 grant from Wells Fargo. After the area was cleared of debris and fortified with nutrient-rich soils, the first crop of fruits and vegetables was planted in January 2011. The idea for a farm in an urban setting came about through a collaborative effort of SU’s Environmental Studies program, chaired by Professor Gordon Miller, and the county’s wastewater treatment division. In its first year, the farm generated nearly 7,000 pounds of produce for area food banks. That number was expected to double by the end of 2012. Patrick Yalung, regional president of Wells Fargo, says the urban farm speaks to what the bank looks for when awarding these grants: projects and programs that are communitybased and promote sustainability, renewable energy or energy efficiency. “We recognized that this project could be a model for urban agriculture on a long-term basis,” Yalung says. In addition to Wells Fargo, GroCo and the Henderson Foundation generously support the Urban Farm. Learn more at www.seattleu.edu/artsci/urbanfarm/.
