Pike Place Market Foundation

Today is the final day of the Farm Fund gift match.

For Market farmers recovering from last winter’s floods, community support has already helped move recovery forward in practical, urgent ways.

Through the Farm Fund, support is helping farmers repair equipment, restore irrigation, rebuild greenhouses, replace fencing, and put essential tools back in farmers’ hands.

Each repair matters because each one helps a farmer keep working, keep growing, and prepare for the seasons ahead.

But recovery does not end when one piece of equipment is replaced or one repair is complete. For many farmers, rebuilding takes time, resources, and continued support.

Help Market farmers with ongoing recovery and rebuilding efforts.
Today is the last day to make your gift go twice as far.

Before the flowers and produce reach Pike Place Market, a great deal of work has already happened.

Seeds are planted.
Fields are cultivated.
Crops are irrigated.
Fences protect what is growing.
Tools and equipment help farmers keep each step moving.

What we see at the Market in one day can take seasons of work to grow.

When flooding damages a farm, it can disrupt far more than a field. It can delay work, interrupt growing cycles, damage equipment, and put an entire season of a farmer’s income at risk.

Last winter’s floods caused significant damage for many farmers connected to the Market.

But this incredible community has already helped recovery move forward.

Through the Pike Place Market Foundation, community support has helped 32 farm businesses receive $316,450 in grants to reinvest in the equipment, tools, and infrastructure they need to keep farming.

These grants are helping replace flood-damaged plows, provide down payments for new tractors, repair irrigation systems, rebuild greenhouses, restore dry storage sheds, replace fencing, and put essential tools back in farmers’ hands.

So when we see the flowers and produce at the Market, we are also seeing a larger story unfolding behind them: a story of recovery, resilience, and a community helping farmers keep going.

You can be part of that story.

Now through June 12, every gift will be matched.

Yeng Lee Cha has sold flowers at Pike Place Market for 17 years.

Last December, floods destroyed two of her greenhouses. A four ton shipping container was lifted from its foundation. Her spring bulbs sat underwater for days.

Yeng's experience reflects what many farmers are still navigating months later.

You can help continue rebuilding efforts through the season ahead.

Right now, every gift will be matched through June 12.

Farming seasons never stop.

After December’s floods, Market farmers were suddenly managing flood damage on top of the daily work of keeping their farms running.

Farmers were connected to emergency resources and early recovery support so they could begin rebuilding: repairing equipment, rebuilding fences, restoring irrigation, and preparing for the season ahead.

But for many more farmers, the recovery work is still ongoing.

And through the Farm Fund, this community is helping farmers continue rebuilding while the work of farming continues. You can help.

Right now, every gift will be matched through June 12.

You’ve seen the flowers.
You’ve seen the produce.
You’ve seen the farmers who make Pike Place Market feel like Pike Place Market.

What many people haven’t seen is the recovery still unfolding behind those Market stalls after December’s historic floods.

Since then, community support through the Farm Fund has helped Market farmers replace equipment, rebuild infrastructure, and recover from devastating damage. So far, 29 Market farm businesses have collectively received more than $281,000 in grants.

But the work isn’t over.

You can help Market farmers continue rebuilding through the months ahead.

Right now, every gift will be matched through June 12.
