Keeping San Diego County farms
in the family.
San Diego County's family farms are under real pressure, and many are one hard season away from selling the land. Adopt A Farmer, formerly Adopt An Avocado Tree, connects you directly with local growers and puts your support behind the specific goals they are working toward. They get the resources to keep farming. You get certified organic produce from the farm you stand behind. Learn more below.

Wild Acres Farm
Bonsall, CA · Dec 2026 – June 2027 · Certified Organic
The flagship of the Adopt A Farmer program and the physical home of Heal The Earth. Wild Acres is a certified organic avocado farm in the hills of Bonsall.
A new farmstand on the property
A physical space right at Wild Acres where San Diego County residents can come to the farm, meet the growers, and buy what's in season.
Keeping Heal The Earth rooted at Wild Acres
Having Heal The Earth on-site means we can keep developing and running programs like this one, close to the land and the farmers we support.
Fortule Farms
Escondido, CA · July – December · Certified Organic
60 acres and more than 8,000 plants in the hills of Escondido, growing over 20 varieties of dragon fruit. The season picks up right where Wild Acres leaves off.
Getting Fortule Farms into local schools
Your support helps Farmer Ken cover the cost of certification to sell directly to the school system, which runs between $4,000 and $7,000. Once it's done, fresh, local, certified organic produce can flow straight into our community's schools.
