Tilth Alliance also offers training and resources to help Washington state farmers be economically successful and use sustainable practices, which provides communities with local food security and land stewardship. They want everyone to be able to eat healthy, nutritious food, every day, at every meal. — www.tilthalliance.org (Seattle Tilth, Tilth Producers and Cascade Harvest Coalition are now Tilth Alliance!
