Join the North San Diego Chapter of California Rare Fruit Growers as we participate in the Alta Vista Fall Fun Festival on October 11. We'll have a booth selling plants that you can eat (or that grow things you can eat) and there's lots going on.

Want to contribute?

  • Donate edible plants to​ ​sell:

    • If you start cool weather seeds now, they should be on their way to be big enough for the sale in mid-October!

    • When you are buying any edibles for your garden like veggie 6 packs, if you don't​​ need all 6, ​​plant 3 and pot up three for our sale!

    • We can sell growing fruit trees, veggies, herbs, flowers that have edible parts, and bags of veggies and fruit. We can also sell pieces of material like dragon fruit cuttings. 

    • Many flowers are edible as well, more info here:

  • Volunteer to help at our booth. Shifts are from 8:30-10:30 to help set up, 10:30-1:30, and 1:30 -3:30 to help take down. No experience necessary, this is a fun event!

  • Email Dawne (on our board members list) if you'd like to support.
