About the Project

Santa Cruz County is a region shaped by an abundant bay, naturally rich soils, an evolving cultural landscape, an economy rooted in natural resources and something that has tied them all together: Food. Our research team is bringing all these components together to tell a compelling story. 

Please hop over to our new site SCHeritageFood.com to learn about stories of regional food, including Claus Spreckles the "Sugar King", James Brown's Moo Moo Ice Cream, and more!
