Membership Organizations

Description

The Cascade Harvest Coalition has supported preservation and revitalization of the food and farm system in Western Washington since 1999 when representatives from a number of diverse groups met to address the need for greater unity and a stronger voice within the agricultural community. We saw that many groups were ably tackling local agricultural issues within their communities, but losing the greater effectiveness that those actions would have if coordinated throughout Western Washington.

Through forums, promotions, better inter-communication, research, education and collaboration, Cascade Harvest Coalition's member organizations and individuals will more effectively address the threats to sustainable agriculture:


§ urbanization,


§ loss of critical farmer support, including technical assistance for small farms,


§ vague and uncertain environmental and land use regulations,


§ need for better marketing and promotion,


§ loss of irreplaceable farm lands,


§ and more.


The Coalition facilitates linkages that result in more innovative and effective partnerships to sustain the food and farm system, and develops and implements strategies to achieve our common vision.
