Meet our Team

Leti Porter is an Organic Grower and jokes that she really is in the business of growing people, mostly kids. She has been growing her entire life thanks to her dad, who took the time to teach her when she was young that there was so much more to gardening than just pulling weeds. She finds joy in learning about life and how to grow in real time in her favorite place—Nature. She believes that the earth has the ability to heal us and that it is our responsibility to protect it by growing things, especially each other.

Leti planted her roots in Heber 20 years ago and still claims it is the perfect place to raise free-range kids and build community by creating opportunities/space for others to gather and grow. Her background is Human Nutrition• organic growing• planting flowers & trees• common sense• hard work• building relationships• constantly learning from others• serving• loving people• mothering & making her family and her faith in God a priority.

David Kincaid AKA “PermaDave” CEO of Northern Arizona Permaculture in Heber is a Permaculture Designer and educator with a passion for water harvesting and food sovereignty for all working with homesteaders in the area as well as projects worldwide to promote healing of our planet for future generations to enjoy clean water, sustainable housing, and healthy food.

Tim didn’t start gardening until he moved up to the high country, but he has since jumped in with a vengeance. He learned all he knows from all the classes he has taken here at the community garden. He loves being self-reliant and enjoying the bounty of the harvest all year long. He recently became a Master Gardener!

He also enjoy helping and serving others in our community and that includes helping us keeping the garden functioning and when fellow gardeners have a need.
