Seattle's One of A Kind Food Forest

Can food be free, fresh, and easily accessible?

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.
