If you don’t live near Puyallup, there’s a good chance you’ve never heard of Farm 12. Despite it being a substantial event space, restaurant, bakery, and gathering spot, this place manages to stay under the radar to everyone who isn’t local. But here’s why we’re giving it the spotlight: In addition to being a fantastic place to enjoy a meal (and host a group celebration when current conditions allow), it’s all done for a good cause. 100% of Farm 12’s proceeds are donated to a wonderful organization called Step by Step.

You'll find Farm 12 at 3303 8th Ave SE in Puyallup.
