MESA HARMONY GARDEN

To create and maintain a community food forest: - as a neighborhood resource serving residents in need through donations of fresh local produce to the Santa Barbara Foodbank; and as a living educational resource - a demonstration of Permaculture and Organic principles applied to sustainable urban food production, helping to build self-reliance and a resilient local community.

Mesa Harmony Garden is a volunteer-led project, fiscally sponsored by 501c3 nonprofit Empowerment Works - Tax ID 31-179-6801. It was formed in 2010 to turn an unused plot of land in the City of Santa Barbara, California, into a productive community food forest, growing fresh local produce for the Food Bank.

By engaging community volunteers to serve residents in need, we have also created a living educational resource for our community.
