Based on one of the oldest organic farms in California, the Center for Urban Agriculture at Fairview Gardens is an internationally respected model for small-scale urban food production, agricultural preservation, farm-based education and community supported agriculture ( CSA ) for Santa Barbara and Goleta.

We produce a vast variety of fruits and vegetables, feed approximately five hundred families, and employ over twenty people. We support a 250 member CSA, attend two farmers markets and a farm stand. 

We welcome you to journey with us through our fields and orchards, and into the foods, programs, publications, and resources we offer.
