Farming - Santa Barbara, California, United States
Our mission is to be the catalyst for a healthier, more sustainable food system by strengthening the ties between farmers and the community. We want to be the most trusted source of exquisite, sustainable food from the Santa Barbara County foodshed. We provide the best of our local harvest to everyone from chefs planning seasonal menus at our area's finest restaurants to kids picking out lunch in their school cafeteria.We want to be an ally to farmers, helping them share the fruits (and vegetables) of their labor with our community. We're working with our local farmers to meet the needs of our customers, who range from large institutions and universities to home delivery companies, local schools, hotels, and restaurants. We try to offer almost every in-season crop that our clients would want to prepare in their kitchens.At Harvest Santa Barbara, we strive to keep our local harvest local, minimizing our impact on the environment by reducing how far our food travels and how it's taken care of on the journey. And we want to include our entire community in the feast.
