Y-WE Grow

Y-WE Grow is our farming and food justice program at Marra Farm, a community garden in South Park, Seattle, near the Duwamish River. Each year, we offer Fall, Spring, and Summer cohorts at Marra Farm. This program is free to attend for young women, trans, non-binary, and gender expansive youth ages 13-19, centering BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ youth. We also offer a summer internship and various community events.

I loved getting to plant and harvest vegetables learning about plants, and getting to take home food from the garden and starts!
