We are so pleased to once again gather together in community and host a Sustain Supper at Natural Bridges Farm.
This event will take place on Saturday, June 17, beginning with passed appetizers and wine at 4pm, and will feature a delightful, multi-course meal, utilizing produce grown on our farm in our programs, cooked by a team of area chefs. In addition to the signature farm-to-table meal, the event will feature local beverages, live music, a farm tour and an engaging program of speakers, including our keynote speaker, Dick Peixoto, owner of Lakeside Organic Gardens, the largest family-owned and operated solely organic vegetable grower/shipper in the USA. You can read more about Dick below. Our MC for the evening will be Jess Brown, Executive Director of the Santa Cruz County Farm Bureau.
All proceeds from the Sustain Supper benefit the Homeless Garden Project’s core transitional employment program for people experiencing homelessness. Over 30+ years HGP has refined the successful year-long program to provide earned wages for work, hands-on job training and support services in an effort to help trainees obtain stable employment and housing. On average, 90% of trainees obtain stable housing and employment within 3 months of graduating.
Natural Bridges Farm, located on Santa Cruz’s Westside, has been operated by the Homeless Garden Project since the mid-90’s. Please note, it is an active working farm, so please wear comfortable shoes for uneven ground.
