"GROW YOUR OWN WAY"...
/~A NEW Food Growing Program for the Santa Barbara County Food Bank~
/This  program is designed to empower some of the 1 in 4 people across 
the County of Santa Barbara the Food Bank serves, to take a new 
perspective on their role in the food system. Growing some of your own 
food not only provides a healthy addition to your diet, it gets you out 
of the role of a passive consumer and gets you thinking about what else 
is possible.
