Turning Yards into Gardens
+ Neighborhoods into Communities

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.

Come Join the Fun!
Our chapter runs Farmer on the Block, movie/documentary nights,
a monthly potluck with guest speakers (kid friendly!), super programs
and seed swaps.

Calendar
Help plan the Cultivating Food
Justice Conference, which is one of the largest food justice conferences in California. Learn more about each of our programs. Learn about the 1 in 10 in 2010 Coalition which we participate in.

We just completed the 2010 Cultivating Food Justice Conference. We're posting video, photos and other media and information from the conference. We'll be debriefing from the conference shortly and making notes about how to make the conference even better in 2011. If you'd like to participate in the debrief process, contact us. The month of May will be focused on our new gleaning program, Harvesting San Diego. We'll also be launching Farmer on the Block in June so we're looking for people with large gardens who would like to sell some of their produce.

Bring a friend
We're always looking for people interested in getting to work fixing the food system. If you're ready to get involved or know someone who'd like to check us out, the first step is to come to one of our social potlucks (get involved with an existing program or start a new program)! Then come to a core meeting and meet the rest of the core team. Everyone is welcome! Start small or organize something big. We're here to help you plan it.

Edible City Celebration
Our annual celebration of locally produced food includes a documentary, food preservation workshops, eating at local restaurants (that serve local food), guided farmers' market tours and many other activites. For more info, check out the page dedicated to this year's Edible City Celebration
