Harvesting San Diego
Our newest program connects local fruit tree owners that have excess fruit with a local food assistance program, the International Rescue Committee. The program provides fresh, healthy food choices to numerous families who rely on a food bank that can usually only offer easily stored and distributed processed foods. We are offering growers and volunteers the opportunity to directly engage with the local community and make an immediate impact on those who need food justice the most. Since the program has just begun, we are rapidly expanding our database of fruit growers and volunteers. Please contact us at or call (619) 630-5897 if you are interested.
Farmer on the Block
Stay tuned for the newly tweaked re-launch of Backyard Farmers. This program will be a method for people to monetize their excess produce from their garden, but rather than bringing it to a farmers' market, we'll help you sell the produce right out of your yard! Think of it as a yard sale for produce or a very, very small roadside farmstand!
Movies / Documentaries
Part outreach and part education, our documentary series serves as a way to enlighten people to the problems in the American food system and also serves as a way for touching people in the mainstream that may not have heard about Food Not Lawns and the programs we're working on to address the problems mentioned in the documentaries. After the documentary, we try to reserve time for a discussion about the topics brought up in the documentary and what people think about the problems presented and the potential solutions available. Find out when the next movie night is by checking out the events calendar.
