Rainier Valley Eats

Rainier Valley Eats We believe that healthy food is a basic human right. We are taking a holistic approach to achieve real change in our community’s access to healthy food.

Rainier Valley Eats partners with Seattle Tilth, Public Health and Community Kitchens Northwest to promote more growing, sharing and cooking up of good food in the Rainier Valley We recognize that the ability to access healthy food is related to multiple issues and not just a result of low income. We recognize that food plays an important part in the cultural diversity of our community and work to meet those needs through our programming. In this process, we nurture community through a shared food experience. We welcome opportunities to learn about, grow, cook and eat food together. We
promote equally the importance of healthy nutrition and of the pleasure that comes from choosing and eating food that we love. In the food that we serve and promote, we are constantly looking for the terrain where "nutritious" and "delicious" intersect. Working "from field to table," we focus on the entire system that puts food on our tables: from the growing, processing and distribution of food to purchasing, cooking and consumption.

Urban farming in the Rainier Valley is alive and well.

The Rainier Valley has a long history of farming and now with the resurgence in interest in local food and access for all to healthy foods this rich bottom land is being cultivated again.
