Growing Food for those in need:
Produce is grown to donate to local food needy organizations. Every year we grow thousands of pounds of produce including fruit from our Food Forest and seasonal vegetables from the communal growing grounds. We make regular donations to organizations including the Organic Soup Kitchen, Santa Barbara City Collage Food Pantry, Santa Barbara Food Bank and Sarah House.
Community Garden and outreach:
In addition to growing food for donation we offer 22 individual plots to community members and offer several volunteer events and field trips. Groups learn small gardening practices, team building and community building activities.
Garden Education:
Providing education programs to all ages and abilities which raise awareness of sustainable and healthy growing and eating practices contribute to food security.
Field trips are held all year offering lessons in Rainbow food, growing and harvesting crops, chicken care and "Little Red Hen" Wheat growing and processing inspired lessons, just to name a few.
Throughout the year we offer seasonal cooking classes that teach basic to advanced cooking skills to all ages as well as making use of seasonal fruits and vegetables to make a delicious meal.
We provide lectures ranging from composting to hugelkultur beds and invite others to host educational classes and workshops at the garden as well.
