Mission: To promote local food production, enhance organic food security, decrease food waste, and increase access to fresh produce for residents and guests of North Captiva Island.
Vision: To cultivate a thriving oasis through sustainable gardening on North Captiva Island.
To produce organic food for island consumption through sales to restaurants, markets, and individuals.
To increase island consuption of real food from plants, not food made in a plant.
To foster a community rooted in shared values, connection, and commitment to sustainable food sourcing.
To promote environmental education and awareness to all visitors through eco-tourism education and engagement.
Local Food Production
We aim to grow only organic local grown fruits, vegetables, and herbs for local consumption. This will improve our island’s organic food security, decrease food waste, decrease waste of transporting and packing food to the island, improve our health and longevity, foster social connection, increase education and awareness of tropical edible plants, and promote tourist education and engagement.
The gardens will produce food for sales to local restaurants, markets, and individuals to enhance the health of the island people. The gardens will also serve as a space for community events and education, and generate a site for eco-tourism. Guests and visitors can openly visit and learn about the dynamic tropical growing environment unique to North Captiva Island.
Community Involvement
This garden aims to foster social cohesion by providing a shared space for neighbors to collaborate. We can work together to decrease island food waste through composting.
In future state, raised vegetable beds will be available for sponsorship.
Phase one of the Salty Island Garden includes fencing, clearing, fruit orchard, pollinator garden, and community composting. If you are interested in supporting this effort or learning more about the mission and vision, please contact us!
The Salty Island Garden is not just about growing organic plants; it is about cultivating connections, sowing seeds of unity, and harvesting the fruits of shared responsibility for a healthier, happier community.
