We are first and foremost a group of students concerned about the environmental, social, economic and health impacts of our agro-food system. UWSFC members are a diverse group of students from a wide variety of disciplines who’ve come together because we share a passion for improving our own health and the health of our planet.
The UWSFC is a completely student-run enterprise. Students make all decisions related to running the business, choosing food suppliers, creating a menu and working with other members of the UW and greater Seattle community.
UWSFC recognizes the inherent right of communities, businesses and farmers to grow, sell and eat good food. Good food is locally and sustainably grown; it’s healthy, humane, affordable and accessible to everyone.
We are a cooperative organization that embraces the seven cooperative principles: voluntary and open membership, democratic management, participation, independence, education, cooperation, and community involvement.
