The Coalition

Cascade Harvest Coalition is dedicated to re-localizing the food system in Washington by connecting consumers more directly with producers.

We help farmers by connecting them with the tools and resources they need to be more sustainable and provide timely information to consumers so they can make informed food buying decisions.
