Our Farming Program provides technical support and connects farmers in low-income, immigrant, and underserved farming communities with local markets. This helps strengthen food sovereignty and create economic opportunities. We support farmers in combining their traditional foodways with modern farming techniques and food innovation strategies to produce healthy, sustainable, local food.
Our farm incubator program has served more than 30 farmers. Each fall, we host our annual Mavuno (Harvest) Festival to celebrate local growers and their achievements.
We own and steward Canter-Berry Farms in King County, where we grow blueberries and welcome the community to pick their own during the summer harvest. U-Pick gives visitors a chance to experience the farm firsthand and enjoy fresh, locally grown berries.
Our community members often face unique mental health challenges and limited access to culturally relevant care. Wakulima’s Wellness and Mental Health Program helps community members connect to essential resources including food assistance, healthcare, dental services, substance use disorder (SUD) treatment, and mental health support through community-based care coordination. We also refer our community members to trusted providers to reduce stigma, strengthen resilience, and promote overall well-being. Our goal is to make it easier for community members to find the resources they need to thrive
