Who Are We?

21 Acres is a nonprofit organization located in Woodinville, Washington with a mission to inspire action to solve climate challenges by learning as a community to grow, eat and live sustainably.  Our Certified Organic farm is at the heart of everything we do. It’s the reason we are all here — why the land was first secured long ago as part of King County’s Agriculture Preservation Program. It is a source of inspiration for our staff, volunteers and for the entire community to embrace.  Our work revolves around the food we grow, and the farm practices that we employ to regenerate soil and contribute to climate solutions. The Farm Market advances this mission through a year-round supply of locally grown produce, dairy, grains, preserved foods and education regarding how best to participate in a sustainable food system.

The farm currently consists of about 5 production acres but the full vision of the property leaves enormous opportunity to showcase multiple resurgent growing ideologies.

Under the supervision of the Farm Operations Lead, this position will primarily work on farm specific projects and daily tasks. Additionally, this position will provide critical assistance with education and restoration tasks as needed throughout the growing season. As with the entire Campus Education Team, helping to lead, empowering, and working side-by-side with students and a contingent of volunteers is a major part of this job.

 

At 21 Acres we are dedicated to building awareness that soil is a vital and often-overlooked piece of combating and adapting to climate change. Our team takes a holistic approach to land management. We experiment, test ancient and new techniques, and learn from the resourceful farming practices happening on local farms.
