Ben Barkan founded HomeHarvest, an edible garden installation company, in 2008 with just a bicycle & shovel. Now with over 500 edible garden installations, a passionate team of gardeners & building specialists, & our own fruit tree nursery, we love helping people grow their own food in gardens we design and install. Ben derives inspiration for the TAKE BACK THE POWER series from leading the growth of his company.
