Who We Are
Berry Good Food is a nonprofit grassroots organization. We want to tackle the barriers—educational, economic, systemic, infrastructural—standing between people in our region and local, sustainably produced food. Will you join us?

What We Do
Berry Good Food believes that a strong local and sustainable food community is good for San Diego and San Diegans. So we educate, connect and support food producers and consumers through a variety of programs and events like affordable cooking classes, expert panel discussions, and farm-to-table dinners.
Panels
Free and open to the public, Future Thought Leaders is a thought-provoking series of multidisciplinary panels discussing topics such as the climate benefits of carbon-rich soil, the impact of meat production, strategies for combating food waste, and ways to build a more sustainable seafood system.
School Gardens
Berry Good Food is awarding grants of up to $10,000 to K-12 schools and nonprofit organizations with garden projects that promote healthy food education in San Diego County.
Cooking Classes
The Berry Good Food Academy, our culinary education arm, hosts affordable hands-on cooking classes every third Sunday of the month from February through October at the state-of-the-art Studio Kitchen by Specialty Produce in San Diego with chefs and food artisans from around the county.

Berry Good Talk
Listen to the Berry Good Food podcast hosted by Board President Jessica Waite as we engage in dynamic conversation about how to make healthy and informed choices about what we eat, and how to support local efforts to make these healthy choices available to all. BGF was honored to receive two San Diego Press Club Awards for its podcast in 2020.
Watch the latest iteration of the podcast, “The Bright Side,” on our YouTube channel and read about it on our blog as Jessica speaks to community advocates via Zoom about how the COVID-19 pandemic has created the need for food system resilience and solutions.
