Celebrating 50 years

This month we celebrate 50 years of PCC history. It's a time to reflect on our roots, appreciate the journey, laugh at some of the struggles we have overcome and congratulate each other for being a part of it.

Local organic farmers and PCC
PIONEERS AGAINST THE ODDS
by Jody Aliesan, Farmland Fund Director
When I first started working at PCC thirty years ago, one of a staff of twelve, our only store was on N.E. 65th Street in Seattle. At that time we were virtually the only retailer in the Seattle area providing organic produce. Dungeness Organic Produce organic farm saved by the PCC Farmland Fund is also profiled.
30 years supporting P-Patches
It was 1973 when Seattle's P-Patch program began, thanks largely to a PCC member Darlyn Rundberg, who is credited generally with making the P-Patch program "happen." PCC also administered the P-Patch program that first year.
