Our vision is a world where every community participates in creating local food ecosystems. Beacon Food Forest is a demonstration site and a learning community that reimagines what urban green spaces can offer.
Volunteers turned a swath of grass into a vibrant, thriving ecosystem that now provides fresh produce, uplifting beauty, pollinator habitat, healthy soils, climate change mitigation, storm water filtration, educational opportunities, and - perhaps most importantly - a community where everyone is welcome to be, participate, learn and teach.

Beacon Food Forest began as a crazy dream. In 2009, four friends from Beacon Hill who were studying food forestry created a design envisioning how the 7 acre plot of grass west of Jefferson Park could be transformed into a diverse ecosystem that would provide fresh, healthy, local food to neighbors.
They presented their idea to the City of Seattle whose Department of Public Utilities owns the site. Over many months of negotiations with the City, design collaboration with professional landscape architects, and public meetings to get community input on layout and selection of plants, the final plan was created.

Most of the Beacon Food Forest is an open harvest site (except for our designated food bank plot and City of Seattle P-Patches). This means that we allow anyone to forage from the site freely.
By extending our trust to strangers, they enter into our community agreement to take only what you need and always leave some for others. This model has been very successful so far. Nearly all the produce gets harvested, eliminating food waste and serving thousands of visitors each year.
