Sustainable food solutions for fragile food communities

“Our greatest need is for infrastructure for the farm to plant more crops efficiently and feed more people. We look forward to expanding our infrastructure to host the greater community on the farm and role model for other communities on chemical free farming.

We need better irrigation systems, fencing to keep wild life out, delivery van for the food, infrastructure and equipment like grain storage, tractor and a commercial kitchen.”

We all deserve access to healthy food. Together, we can work towards feeding the world in a sustainable and ethical way, starting within our own communities.

 

Our mission is to educate, promote and increase awareness on how our food is grown, propagated and distributed to minors and underserved, unrecognized, and fragile populations, particularly in the food desert areas of Santa Barbara County. We donate food to those in need, supporting individuals and other charitable organizations with natural and organically farmed products. The Summerland Sweet Wheel Farm will be a place to preserve, protect, and enhance life and spirit through organic farming and green space.

 

It all begins with hearing a story…

And wanting to change the ending.

 

After you hear it for the first time, it keeps you awake at night. The hurt in it stays with you.

After many nights, you think about solving the hurt in the story. You see a way to change the ending by helping your community, its health, and its food security. You know you can do something more. You can find and experience a future of generations empowered by better agriculture solutions. Maybe, the solution will finally carry your community from hunger to food security.

We can all make the difference.

We have chosen to make the difference. Join us in change.
