Chuckanut Center

We're located in Fairhaven Park on scenic Highway 11 just south of the historical Fairhaven District. We grow Food, Skills and a Resilient Community.

Our facility, Chuckanut Center, is 1.8 acres of outdoor fields and garden space for organizations as well as the 100+ year old Caretaker's House. The Chuckanut Center is scheduled to open in April 2017. If you have a skill to teach, please reach out using this form. http://www.chuckanutcenter.org/2016/01/teachingevent-proposal.html
We'll respond just as fast as our volunteer staff can manage.
