The RFP for the Working Farmland Access Strategic Initiative was awarded to PCC Farmland Trust dba Washington Farmland Trust and the Working Farmland Partnership – a formal collaboration between agriculture‐focused agencies in King County.
King Conservation District (KCD) seeks to identify a qualified consultant or team of consultants to lead and manage a comprehensive farmland access program in King County. This program will coordinate current service providers to assist farmers in accessing land opportunities and connecting to technical assistance to get farmland into production.
Proposals are requested from a consultant qualified to lead and manage a farmland access technical assistance partnership that assists farmers and landowners to connect to increase the number of farms and acres in food production in King County (Goals identified in the King County Local Food Initiative). Consultant(s) should also be prepared to provide these services in line with KCD’s partnership with Seattle’s Equity and the Environment Agenda goals.
