Good Neighbor Gardens

Good Neighbor Gardens Neighbors farming the city, sharing the harvest. Our space-efficient, eco-friendly and community minded operation is one from which everyone stands to benefit.

OUR MODEL

We farm yards and schools in San Diego homes to deliver organic, locally grown, pesticide-free produce through a CSA model. Our goal is to create a community of neighbors sharing their resources to ensure that everyone has access to the healthiest, freshest food at an affordable price. We want to teach the benefits of eating seasonally, promote an alternative way of feeding our families, and expose you to new and beautiful vegetables! "To waste and exhaust the land instead of using it to increase its usefulness will result in undermining, in the days of our children, the very prosperity which we ought to hand down to them amplified and developed."

-Theodore Roosevelt, 1907

Our 2nd graders are participating in the Farmstand unit this year, where they will be collaborating with local farmers and community members to facilitate their own student-led farmers market. Next month, we’ll be taking them on a field trip to a local organic farm in San Diego to give them an orientation on farming/where their food comes from.

Before our trip, we wanted to get some data on what they already know about farming and compost, and their answers were too precious not to share. All answers are original spelling. Stay tuned for how their answers develop throughout the year….🪱💚

When someone special, alive and equally unique as ourselves crosses our path, we are met with intrigue, excitement, maybe even a little fear or reverence. That’s how friendship begins. A friend is someone you treasure so much that you want to enjoy them, and so you find a way to cover them with love and protection. The children are openhearted and tender and they come by this easily. If you give them time in the garden they will naturally become its caretakers. We have so much to learn from them.
