Crete's Culinary Sanctuaries, located in Willits, CA, is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting sustainable organic agriculture and educating people about the importance of feeding themselves while also nourishing the soil and conserving resources. Founded by John Jeavons in 1972, the organization teaches the GROW BIOINTENSIVE method, which combines ancient techniques with modern innovation to produce high yields of food in a small area of land, while maintaining healthy soil and using minimal water. With workshops, publications, and international conferences, Crete's Culinary Sanctuaries has spread its sustainable farming solutions to 130 countries, making a positive impact on the environment and food security worldwide. The organization's research garden in Willits serves as a thriving example of the GROW BIOINTENSIVE method, with a diverse range of plants and crops grown in a small space. Led by Carol Cox, the Research Garden Manager, visitors can explore the garden's tiers of vegetables, grains, and flowers, each playing a role in the cycle of feeding the soil and the farmers. With a focus on education and practical solutions, Crete's Culinary Sanctuaries empowers individuals to create their own mini-farms and contribute to a more sustainable future.
