Tilth Alliance’s Good Food Bag Potato Hash

The holiday season revolves around good food for many, especially the folks at Tilth Alliance, a Seattle-based nonprofit committed to food access and equity. The organization manages several community learning gardens in and around Seattle — including the city’s largest urban farm – and partners with local farmers to build and promote a sustainable food system.

In 2023, Tilth Alliance delivered 26,319 Good Food Bags to South Seattle families, each filled with organic produce from small farms across the state, of which 51% were BIPOC owned/operated. The Good Food Bags program prioritizes sourcing from immigrant and refugee farmers, BIPOC, female, and LGBTQ+ farmers — all marginalized members of the agricultural web. Each bag also includes recipes.

Tilth Alliance shared its three favorite Good Food Bag recipes of 2023 with us this week through their newsletter. With the region’s coldest month nearly upon us, these three dishes will surely warm your family’s stomachs and tickle their tastebuds. Here’s the first.
