Welcome

The Washington Sustainable Food & Farming Network
(The Network) is a grassroots, statewide advocacy organization that works to advance sustainable agriculture
and strengthen family farms in Washington State.

Through education, grassroots organizing, policy advocacy and lobbying, The Network has become a leading voice for sustainable agriculture and a key catalyst for change in food and farming policies and practices in Washington State.

Our mission is to engage with partners to keep farmers farming and ensure that all Washingtonians have access to good food. We advocate bringing food from the ranch and farm to the table in a way that is economically viable, environmentally sustainable and socially equitable.

Network members include farmers, environmental organizations, farmers' markets, faith-based groups, the natural foods industry, farming organizations, community organizations, anti-hunger and nutrition advocates, food co-ops, educators and individuals like you who are investing in a healthy future by supporting sustainable agriculture.

Working together, we seek to create a different, more sustainable type of agricultural system for Washington. We advocate for programs and policies that:

• Support and encourage family farms
• Promote local production and consumption of food and fiber
• Ensure good stewardship of the land over the long term
• Promote community economic, environmental and social well-being.
