The Urban Farm

The urban farm is written into the bylaws of the Pringle Creek Community and enhances property values, quality of life, and a sense of community.

The farm is managed by our on-staff Urban Farmer and a team of neighborhood volunteers.

Fresh organic produce is provided to neighbors at no additional cost.

FAQs

  • Part of your HOA fees (whether you are a renter or any owner) go toward free produce from the greenhouse. Please note this is for PCC residents, and you’ll be asked to provide proof that you are, in fact, a PCC neighbor. Please contact AMS at pringlecreek@ams-nw.com

  • Our CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) box is available to both residents and those outside the community. More information (including how to sign up) can be found here.

  • Our free beds are already filled for the growing season!

    Starting in March or April of each year, PCC residents will be notified about the availability of our free outdoor raised beds, where you can garden in community with your neighbors and learn from our Urban Farmer. These beds are available on a first come, first served basis.

  • We have a variety of volunteer opportunities! Please email pringlecreekurbanfarm@gmail.com if you’re interested in helping out, or chat with our Urban Farm Committe

  • The Sustainable Living Center (SLC) is a nonprofit organization that was formed at the very beginning of our community. It is a completely volunteer-run organization that offers educational and social events to facilitate community interaction and provide tools to empower people to lead more informed and more sustainable lives.

    The Sustainable Living Center at Pringle Creek Community provides a unique living laboratory that educates and encourages sustainable practices in daily life. Through community partnerships, we deliver programs that demonstrate sustainability in action and inspire environmental excellence.

    The SLC has been the recipient of numerous grants that have helped beautify, educate, and improve the urban farm.
