Background and history:
“City Soil Farm is a 1.5 acre demonstration farm located at the King County Wastewater Treatment Plant in Renton. It was once an unused area of the treatment plant’s grounds. It has been transformed into a teaching farm and native tree nursery that showcases sustainable farming and accessible, local food. The farm is managed in partnership between King County Wastewater Treatment Division, King Conservation District, DIRTCorps, and White Center Food Bank” (King County, 2022). City Soil strives to be a community gathering and learning place where individuals can explore sustainable, salvage-based building and growing strategies.

The orchard is home to 20 apple trees, 13 plum trees, and 4 figs, which are maintained by volunteers organized by the City Soil Farm team, with occasional support from City Fruit for pruning and harvest.
