The Food Security and Community Health program works with refugee and low-income residents to become farmers that grow fresh, sustainably-grown produce at local farms and community gardens. These farmers have participated in IRC farm training programs and are in need of their own land to develop farm businesses. The IRC Land Bank is working to connect these farmers with land in nearby communities. Whether you have a vacant urban lot, you know someone with land, or you just want to help to get the word out, the IRC would love to hear from you! For more information please contact the Land Bank Coordinator, Niki Mazaroli: Niki.Mazaroli@Rescue.org or +1 619 641 7510 ext. 302.

I live in the Normal Heights community and I was wondering if you accept composts? I do not have a garden, and the plants I do have at home do not need as much as I make. I juice everyday so I have a lot of compost to give each day.
Thank you.
I suggest you contact nearby community gardens directly (contact info is available on the map) and ask what their policy is?
