City Land Sale Will Support West Pullman Urban Agriculture District

An acre of City land in West Pullman will be repurposed as the We Sow We Grow urban agriculture district through a land sale approved by City Council today.

The $2.3 million project near the intersection of 120th Street and Union Avenue will include an educational farm, production farm, a Zen garden and an orchard.

The site's 11 City parcels are valued at approximately $150,000 and are being sold for $1 each to the NeighborSpace land trust, which is partnering with We Sow We Grow on the project.

We Sow We Grow is an agricultural nonprofit that has operated at 11918 S. Union Ave. since 2016.
