King County Agriculture Program
King County has the 4th largest farmer population in Washington State. King County's 2,000 individual farms produce approximately $150 million in product sales annually. Those farms provide fresh, culturally relevant food to a diverse system of farmers markets and farm stands, local restaurants and grocery stores, and a strong Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) network. One of the priorities of the Agriculture Program is to improve farmland access opportunities for traditionally underserved farmers, which includes managing a network of farms that we lease to beginning farmers.
