• Increasing the ability for community members to be self-sufficient
• Heard sharing
• Food sharing
• Farmers market
• Sustainability

• Living art
• Nourishing native plant products
• Educational/hands on classes for all ages
• Bulk meat buy-in
• Building community partnership
• Food storage
• Cooking and Slow Food

Mountain Mamas launched Nov. 2012 in Julian, California. Our community cooperative promotes self-reliance by using responsible and traditional practices.

Cooperative gardening members are not only able to grow a variety of nutritious vegetables on a year-round basis for their households, we are also able to supplement our programs by selling what we grow to local markets, but more importantly, we provide hungry families with the nourishment they need by sharing our harvest.

By building long-term self-reliance and empower our programs and partners your donations, skills or trade are most welcome and needed! All contributions to Mountain Mamas enable people around our village to create lasting sustainability skills for their families and communities.
