Nature and Outdoors presents:

Sweet Wheel Farm & Flowers Tour

Join SB Social Club for a 1 1/2 hour compelling tour of Sweet Wheel Farms & Flowers.  The tour is $20 per person payable at the gate. 

According to CEO, Leslie Ryan, “The more you learn, the more you understand what we do here is a very different food system....a farm that wants to provide people food that’s free from preservatives and pesticides, nutritious and delicious.”  

Sweet Wheel Farms is a modest chemical-free seven-acre farm in Summerland that is a mainstay of the Santa Barbara Agriculture and Farm Education Foundation (SBAFE). Their goal is to upend our “modern” food systems and reconnect people to the understanding that our food comes from the land, and needs to be protected and nurtured. 

SBAFE Foundation wants to reverse the disappearing knowledge of agriculture, thereby feeding communities by educating and promoting awareness of how food is grown and distributed in Santa Barbara County and beyond, in hopes of helping others grow and consume more consciously. The foundation demonstrates and teaches organic farming techniques and provides expert agricultural knowledge that can aid in sustainably and ethically feeding fragile populations and transforming food scarce areas into flourishing food forests. 

Officially, SBAFE’s mission is to educate, promote and increase awareness on how our food is grown, propagated and distributed to minors and underserved, unrecognized, and fragile populations – particularly in the food scarce areas of Santa Barbara County. 

DIRECTIONS:  TAKE THE SUMMERLAND EXIT #91.  GPS WILL GET YOU LOST.  FOLLOW THESE DIRECTIONS:  If you are heading south on Lillie Ave, turn left at the Presbyterian Church and head uphill until you T at Whitney Ave. Take a right turn onto Whitney and then left on Temple to the top. The FARM is at the top of Temple on the left.  We meet at the actual Farm not the Farm Stand.  The Farm address is 201 Temple Street (above Whitney Street).  THERE IS LIMITED PARKING.  CARPOOLING IS ENCOURAGED.  (You will get lost if you use a GPS map!)
