context_page_description: Beacon Food Forest is a 7-acre food forest in development adjacent to Jefferson Park on Beacon Hill in Seattle, Washington in the vicinity of 15th Ave South and South Dakota. By the design of the project, and as the area is on public land, food in the edible forest section of the project will be available freely to those visiting the park. The project also has more traditional private allotments, similar to those in other local P-Patch gardens.
  As the area sits on land owned by Seattle Public Utilities, it is believed to be the largest food forest on public land in the United States.
  In Davenport Iowa, Blackhawk Garden Park managed by the Quad City Food Forest Non-Profit is 9 acres in a public city park.
