San Diego Organic Farming



This coming Saturday morning (9 October) join Kashi for an organic farm tour at Tierra Miguel Organic Farm. Located about 45 minutes inland from Oceanside, the Tierra Miguel Foundation (TMF) began in 2000 as a socially responsible community that works together, building agricultural renewal. The TMF is part of the California Certified Organic Farmers (CCOF), and anyone can join their Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) to receive fresh picked produce. The first Saturday of each month the TMF holds an open house, where people can learn about sustainable agriculture, tour the farm and enjoy a pot-luck lunch.

This weekend, the Wellness Team at Kashi is partnering with the TMF to teach the benefits of locally grown farming as well as organic farming. Kashi, a La Jolla based company, is well known for it's healthy, grain and seed based natural foods. Kashi's products are easily found in area grocery stores, and are worth trying if you haven't already (Go Lean Crunch cereal is a favorite of mine). It's not uncommon to spot a Kashi booth or tent at the many local San Diego events, promoting good healthy eating.

So, put on your boots, pick some pumpkins and tomatoes at Tierra Miguel Farm and enjoy a Saturday morning with your friends & Kashi! See you there!
