About P.e.a.c.h. Community Farm

P.e.a.c.h. Community Farm

Just over the hill from bustling downtown Spokane lies the bountiful land of the P.e.a.c.h. Community Farm. Here lives our Director of Farming in a passive solar, earth-bermed farmhouse. Outbuildings built with hand-made mud bricks of farm soil house the goats and chickens. Other buildings house tools and market preparation space. Seedlings and heat-loving plants bask in the glasshouse and the hoophouse. The diverse fields provide pasture for the goats and chickens and market gardens grow all the usual fruits and vegetables as well as heirloom varieties that have been selected for their outstanding flavor and nutrition for generations. Aside from the physical assets, there is a beautiful sense of purpose on the farm considering that most of the produce will feed the community's poor and that its fields serve as a classroom for thousands.

Future Plans

In the near future, p.e.a.c.h. plans to add a creamery, a commercial kitchen for making value-added products, and a small dormitory for our apprentice program. We also are also looking to acquire more farmland in order to serve more impoverished Spokane residents and to give our graduates more outlets for their own farming efforts (please see our Land Bank page).

P.e.a.c.h. and Fresh Abundance

Our sister organization, Fresh Abundance, operates a natural foods storefront at 2015 N. Division St. in Spokane that includes a home grocery delivery service, a gluten-free bakery with breads and pies, a fine selection of local organic produce, organic beer and wine as well as hot bowls of soup. P.e.a.c.h. is the reason that Fresh Abundance exists-- to be a source of funding for the non-profit.
