PEACH (People for Environmental Action and Community Health) is a ten-year non-profit. We are starting up a community farm this year between Cheney and Spokane where we will be educating farmers and gardeners how to use organic, permaculture techniques, be hosting a farm camp for children, and bringing low-income people markets in their neighborhoods where they can buy local, organic produce for a reduced cost. Check us out @www.peachlocal.com
