Visit The HEAL Project at Otterfest!

Stop by The HEAL Project table at Otterfest on Friday, October 16! We’ll be bringing a little bit of the farm to Ortega and would love to see you there.

Thanks to generous grant funding from Kaiser Permanente, we’ll be giving away FREE, locally grown produce harvested from The HEAL Project’s farm in El Granada. Come say hello, learn more about our farm and garden programs, and take home some fresh produce for your family.

Produce will be available while supplies last, so be sure to stop by! We can’t wait to see our Ortega community at Otterfest!
