Jacob's Agro

Release: 06.03.26 (5:01)

At Pike Place Market’s High Stall #7, Jacob’s Agro cultivates crops central to African and Caribbean cuisine—okra, sorrel, black-eyed peas, and other varieties seldom seen in the Pacific Northwest. U.S. Army veteran Mark Jacobs reflects on the cultural foodways that guide his seasonal plantings and the role those harvests play in feeding communities across the region.

Alongside Chloé Bramble Fulton of Bramble Babe, the farm’s produce is crafted into organic preserves and specialty goods that reflect a shared emphasis on texture, peak-season flavor, and culinary tradition.
