/"GROW YOUR OWN WAY",
"LA COMIDA CRECE EN CASA"...
/~A NEW Food Growing Program for the Food Bank of Santa Barbara County

    /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.
