Local organic farmers and PCC

When I first started working at PCC thirty years ago, one of a staff of twelve, our only store was on N.E. 65th Street in Seattle. At that time we were virtually the only retailer in the Seattle area providing organic produce. Dungeness Organic Produce organic farm saved by the PCC Farmland Fund is also profiled.

30 years supporting P-Patches

It was 1973 when Seattle’s P-Patch program began, thanks largely to a PCC member Darlyn Rundberg, who is credited generally with making the P-Patch program “happen.” PCC also administered the P-Patch program that first year.
