The High Point and New Holly Farm stands will open for the season on Wednesday, July 7th

I am very excited to be able to start walking to get my vegetables for the week! With my dog no less.

The farm stands will be open every Wednesday from 4:00pm to 7:00pm until September 29, 2010.  Gardeners living in the High Point and New Holly neighborhoods grow, harvest and market their fresh produce. It does not get any more local or fresher!

The New Holly farm stand is located at S Holly Park Drive and 40th Ave S in southeast Seattle (2 blocks SW of the Othello light-rail station).  Find it on the map here:    http://tinyurl.com/newhollyfarmstand

The HighPoint farm stand is located at 32nd SW and SW Juneau Street in West Seattle (3 blocks north of the new High Point Neighborhood Center).  Find it on the map here: http://tinyurl.com/HiPtFarmStand.

This summer, participate in the second annual Garden-based Food and Nutrition Fair held at the Lutheran Church of the Good Shepherd at 2116 E. Union in central Seattle. The date and time are to be announced.
