What does Open Harvest mean? The Beacon Food Forest was founded on the core idea of fair share for all. One of the main ways that value manifests is through the policy of open harvest. We are open year-round for seasonal harvests to anyone.

Beacon Food Forest is an open harvest food forest. We have a wide and abundant variety of foods that we are eager to share with the community. Come discover what’s in season and sample more than 100 edible, medicinal, and crafting plants.

Beacon Food Forest is a grassroots project created and powered by volunteers. Our vision is a world where every community participates in creating local food ecosystems. Beacon Food Forest is a demonstration site and a learning community that reimagines what urban green spaces can offer.

We are on land stolen from the Duwamish, Suquamish, Muckleshoot, and other peoples, co-creators of abundance with the land since time immemorial. We work to dismantle an unjust food system rooted in white supremacy and conquest by nurturing its replacement, already alive and ready to grow.
