Lettuce Link

Sadie from Lettuce Link gave us the lowdown on the organization at last weekend’s meeting.

LL is one of Solid Ground’s 28 programs. Its mission is to increase access to fresh produce for people with limited education and to share information about gardening. It has a 3/4-acre giving garden called Marra Farm, helps organize the Community Fruit Tree Harvest, and works with about 30 P-Patches to donate fresh produce to food banks. Last year, P-Patch gardeners donated 27,000 pounds to food banks. In addition to us, other sources of veggie starts include Seattle Tilth, several schools and private growers.
