Environmental Studies Students Open UW Farm Stand Friday!

We here at UW Farm would like to announce the opening of a farm produce stand this summer, and we're inviting you to come join us and support our very own volunteer-driven agricultural enterprise. Enjoy seasonal, sustainably sourced, picked-that-morning fresh produce grown just two miles away, along with great music, refreshments, and delicious seasonal recipe ideas.

Starting July 24th, the farm stand will be open Fridays from 4pm-7pm, in the Fisheries Supply parking lot at 1900 N. Northlake Way. We're right along the Burke-Gilman Trail and directly across from the Gasworks Park parking lot. Keep us in mind and we hope to see you there!
