PCC Farmland Fund Wins Regional Award

"Founder of a New Northwest"
SEATTLE, Wash. (January 22, 2001) - The PCC Farmland Fund has been named by Sustainable Northwest a "Founder of a New Northwest" for the year 2000.

The non-profit Farmland Fund was created by PCC Natural Markets in September, 1999, to secure threatened farmland in Washington state and preserve it for organic production. In its first year the Fund rescued a strategically crucial 100-acre farm in the Dungeness Delta near Sequim, Wash. with donations and loans from PCC members, staff, shoppers, vendors and other businesses and individuals.

Martin Goebel, President of Sustainable Northwest, says the Portland-based non-profit "established the Founders of a New Northwest program to identify, recognize and network individuals, communities, and businesses in the Pacific Northwest and beyond that have found ways to reconcile economic progress with environmental health and social equity." Through publications and the media, the program seeks to increase public awareness of the principles and practice of sustainability, and to promote the work of the individual Founders.
