Clean Greens

USA

Clean GreensOwned and operated by longstanding African American residents of Seattle’s Central District, Clean Greens was founded to supply fresh, sustainably grown produce at affordable prices to low-income families in the area. The Clean Greens farm also creates green jobs and provides people — in particular, inner-city children — with the opportunity to spend time growing food, learning about ecosystems and water cycles, and reconnecting with the earth and the soil that feeds them. To learn more, visit Clean Greens’ website. And be sure to watch Growing Hope in the Urban Center.
