Tilth Alliance

sustainable food and agriculture nonprofit

Tilth Alliance

Industry Food

A Washington food-system nonprofit using farms, gardens, kitchens, education, and advocacy to support organic, regenerative, sustainable agriculture and equitable food access. It scores this way because it builds practical food-system capacity and public education beyond ordinary food retail, while governance remains nonprofit-board mediated.

Why this matters: Tilth Alliance adds Seattle sustainable-food infrastructure with both office and farm coordinates.
