Local Bounty Made Easy The Puget Sound Food Hub’s meaningful connections and positive impact
RESTAURANTS SOURCING LOCAL GOODS is hardly a <strong>new</strong> concept—especially here in the Pacific Northwest, where the bounty is rich and the community mindful. Yet it’s becoming an even easier goal for chefs to attain, thanks to the Puget Sound Food Hub (PSFH), a revolutionary, farmer-owned cooperative—or a “digital farmers market”—that connects Western Washington farmers with wholesale buyers online. In the lush Skagit Valley, located north of Seattle and home to more than ninety types of crops, dedicated folks work tirelessly to ensure we have fresh food on our plates every single day. Thanks to the state’s cool, wet, marine climate, produce can be grown twelve months of the year, even if the variety becomes less diverse in winter months. What began as a weekly wholesale market under a Mount Vernon I-5 overpass gradually evolved. The Northwest Agriculture Business Center helped the PSFH, one of the only farmer-owned food hubs in the Northwest, develop an online ordering system, source cold storage and create an aggregated delivery system. PSFH officially became farmer-owned in 2016, connecting more than fifty family farms with wholesalers from restaurants (like Seattle’s iconic Canlis), hotels, hospitals, grocery stores and universities from Bellingham to Olympia.
