Backyard Farmers
This program is one of San Diego Food Not Lawns key initiatives. The program allows gardeners and students to monetize surplus produce by bringing it to the City Heights Farmers' Market where a representative will sell your produce for you and give you 80% of the proceeds. To qualify for this program, the grower needs to go through a simple garden inspection performed by one of our members. This inspection is to ensure that the gardener is using organic growing methods and to determine what sorts of produce we can expect you to bring to market and how frequently. If you're interested in participating in this program as a grower or as a volunteer, please use our contact form.
