How much is an acre of farmland worth?

One acre of Sammamish Valley Farmland can produce:
130,500 heads of lettuce
or
62,250 bunches of carrots
or
14,500 pounds of potatoes
or
160,800 bunches of mixed greens*

* Figures are based on yearly production averages at a local farm using sustainable, chemical-free growing methods.

One acre alone can produce 10 tons of mixed vegetables, enough to feed  
        approximately 250 people annually at 80 pounds per person.*
 
King County has designated approximately 1100 acres of farmland, which is available for cultivation in the Agricultural Production District along the Sammamish Valley. Using top production methods, each year these acres could produce 22 million pounds of fresh, wholesome food. The combined population of Woodinville / Redmond area is about 100,000 people. These acres could feed 2 3/4 times that many people ... impressive!! We don't really need any more reason than that to keep our local farmland available.
