Hello Everyone. Have you been looking to do something different lately. Well how about visiting a local farm?

This meetup consists of educating myself and others as to how a farm works, what kind of food they grow, and how they grow their food.  Personally, I want to learn  what it means for food to be organic, vs. pesticide free, hormone free, no GMO’s, etc etc. Nowadays it is so confusing to know what is the best thing to buy. Does this interest you too?

I would love to meet other like minded individuals who care about the food they eat, where it comes from, and how we (as a society) can increase our awareness, and be better consumers in what we buy, and eat.

Plus did you know that you can even buy your fruits and veggies directly from a farmer! Instead of getting your produce at the big chain store you can get fresh, ripe produce directly from your farmer. It will taste better, and last longer than what you buy at the grocery store. All you have to do it pick it up at various “drop off” locations throughout San Diego. I always “intend” to go to the farmers market to get my produce, BUT rarely find the time. So buying my fruits and vegetables directly from a farmer, sounds like a great alternative for me, then all I have to do is pick it up. I am fairly new to San Diego, so this sounded like a great opportunity to eat healthy, AND support local community business.

FYI.. I am not affiliated with any farm, I will not benefit in any way from us visiting a farm. 



I am currently investigating finding a “chef” that would be willing to give us a cooking class on how to cook all the typicall, and unusual items that would come from a farm.
