Homeless Garden Project

We are a 3.5 acre organic farm on the West Side of Santa Cruz offering a 26 week CSA! We employ people experiencing homelessness to garden, and we also provide case management and job training! In May of 1990, the Citizens Committee for the Homeless, a Santa Cruz County nonprofit organization, began a new project by opening the gates of an organic garden on Pelton Avenue. The Homeless Garden Project would provide job training and meaningful work in a therapeutic environment. The Homeless Garden Project began as a place to provide sanctuary, refuge, and meaningful work within the healing space of the organic farm. Blossoming over time and furthering the project's benefits, the farm harvests have provided an opportunity to support our vision and community through our CSA program, farm stand, and crafts, which are sold at our local Santa Cruz stores & online. We are genuinely humbled by the profound transformations our trainees make in our job training program, and the generous support
