Did you know?
It usually takes less water to grow a vegetable garden and fruit trees than grass. You can eat vegetables and fruit, but unless you have sheep, nothing is going to eat your grass.

Who we are
San Diego Food Not Lawns is a food justice organization committed to enlightening people about the problems with our food system and working to address those problems with creative solutions.
What we do
We run Backyard Farmers (a produce consignment program), a movie (documentary) series, a monthly potluck with guest speakers and seed swaps. We also host the Cultivating Food Justice Conference, which is one of the largest food justice conferences in California.
What's next
There's always something being planned throughout the year. The next big event is a series called Edible City Celebration and will include a weeklong series of workshops (like how to make your own ginger ale and how to compost) and events (like a local iron chef competition and a movie night).
How you can help
We're always looking for people interested in getting to work fixing the food system. We have many volunteer opportunities where you can help your neighbors eat better, grow more food and feed their neighbors.
Learn more
We're always adding to our online resources of recommended books, seed companies and general information about producing your own food on a budget.
