Seattle's One of A Kind Food Forest

Can food be free, fresh, and easily accessible? That's the bold question the city of Seattle is hoping to answer with a new experimental farm near downtown that will have fruits and vegetables for anyone to harvest. The planners have discussed what would happen if someone picks all the fruit for themselves. "But that's been perceived as a good thing," says one of the project architects. "We'll just plant more." Offering people free, fresh food is one motivation, but making the land useful and ecologically enriched is the larger goal.
