About
Sustain Supper June 20th, 2026
Come join us and support the work of the Homeless Garden Project by taking part in a delectable farm-to-table dinner at the Natural Bridges Farm!
Support our unhoused neighbors, rejoice in community, indulge in fresh flavors of local produce, and listen to moving speakers. We'll have live music performed by Sweeter Still, local unique beverages and wine options, a farm tour and more!
We are honored that Farmer Mai will be our key note speaker! Mai-Nadine Nguyen (they/them) is a James Beard Award–winning farmer, policy strategist, and social justice activist whose work centers on building equitable, sustainable, and culturally rooted food systems. In Sonoma County, Nguyen cultivates heirloom grains using agroecological practices designed to strengthen climate adaptation and preserve cultural foodways. Their farming approach is grounded in community care, ecological stewardship, and the belief that food systems must reflect the resilience of the people they serve.
Beyond their farm, Nguyen is a transformative leader working to strengthen democratic structures and economic justice in agriculture. With 20 years of experience in participatory governance, they have helped develop worker cooperative farms, immigrant-run agricultural cooperatives, and community food hubs that contribute to strong, inclusive local economies. Their policy and grassroots organizing efforts focus on securing land access, advancing seed sovereignty, and protecting labor rights for immigrant, BIPOC, and small-scale farmers.
To save on Eventbrite fees, you are welcome to visit our HGP Store either downtown (1338 Pacific Ave, Santa Cruz, CA 95060) or in Capitola (222 Esplanade, Capitola, CA 95010). We look forward to seeing you at the Farm!
