One acre can produce:

130,500 heads of lettuce
or

62,250 bunches of carrots
or

14,500 pounds of potatoes

or
160,800 bunches of mixed greens

One acre alone can produce 10 tons of mixed vegetables, enough to feed approximately 250 people annually at 80 pounds per person. (Figures are based on yearly production averages at The Root Connection Farm using sustainable, chemical-free growing methods.)

King County has designated approximately 1100 acres of farmland, which is available for cultivation in the Agricultural Production District along the Sammamish Valley. Using top production methods, each year these acres could produce 22,000,000 pounds of fresh, wholesome food. The combined population of Woodinville/Redmond area is about 100,000 people. These acres could feed 2 3/4 times that many people...impressive! We don't really need any more reason than that to keep our local farmland available.

Our Sammamish Valley ranks in the top ten most fertile in the Unites States!
