The 21 Acres campus is a living laboratory in Woodinville, Washington where community comes together to learn and act on climate change. The LEED Platinum Certified building was one of the first LEED buildings in the greater Seattle area and is home to a learning kitchen, local foods Farm Market and distribution center, and work spaces that are integrated with the natural environment. With its eve

r-evolving environmentally-friendly features, the building hosts solar panels, a graywater treatment system, composting toilets, passive cooling and heating design, and more. Situated just 30 minutes east of Seattle in the Sammamish Valley Agricultural Production District, 21 Acres sits at the crux of urban and rural land. Here, we gather to talk about green energy, regenerative farming practices, local food systems, and climate solutions.

CLIMATE RESILIENCE: “There is, then, a politics of food that, like any politics, involves our freedom. We still (sometimes) remember that we cannot be free if our minds and voices are controlled by someone else. But we have neglected to understand that we cannot be free if our food and its sources are controlled by someone else. The condition of the passive consumer of food is not a democratic condition. One reason to eat responsibly is to live free.”

Their beautiful fresh cut-flowers and foliage have been available this summer in our Market, a perfect gift to give or keep!

You know we love books right? We're excited to share this summer book guide from Civil Eats. "This year’s collection is rich in titles by and about farmers, with perspectives to bear in mind as the farm bill moves through Congress and the midterms approach."

Check it out, let us know if you have a favorite and don't forget to check out our 21 Acres Library to see what's in our current collection. "This summer book guide, we feel, could not come at a better moment. Amid compounding challenges, this collection—which includes many titles by or about farmers—serves as a portal to a wide-ranging and nuanced view of food and farming that helps us understand the complexities of the issues we face."
