About Farmer Frog

A line of people stand together in a field. Some of them have their hands on others shoulders or their arms around someone else. Trees are visible in the background.

Farmer Frog started with a food garden at a school in South Everett, Washington in 2009-2010. Today we support over a dozen school gardens in the state, work with several sites in urban and rural communities, and are developing several farms on acreage. We cultivate programs, school gardens, and hands-on learning to nurture communities.

We operate under the 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization Foundation for Sustainable Community and are registered to do business as Farmer Frog.

Mission

Sprouting Simple Change

We grow kids, cultivate community and nurture habitat for All Living Beings through Real Food.

Our Impact

Before COVID-19, we serviced 25,000 people across the Puget Sound Region, supported school and community gardens, and offered education programs. During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, we pivoted and began distributing food and personal protective equipment to millions of people across the country, with a particular focus on the Pacific Northwest. Since the pandemic has waned, we have returned to the schools while we keep distribution up and work on expanding our farming operations.

Why A Frog?

Environmental scientists have found that amphibians, including frogs, are excellent biological indicators of the overall health of an ecosystem. Protecting the environment is very important for Farmer Frog. The name of our organization is symbolic of our purpose—sustainably producing healthy food in a protected environment. Healthy farms are habitat to healthy frogs. Finding frogs among the plants we grow always makes us happy.
