Suzie’s Farm

Suzie’s Farm is located on 140 beautiful acres near the Tijuana Estuary, 13 miles south of downtown San Diego. Founded by Robin Taylor and Lucila De Alejandro in 2009, we are a USDA-certified organic farm that grows over 100 different types of crops per year. We offer weekly public tours on Saturday, with private tours and events available year-round to provide hands-on experiences for the community. Suzie’s Farm products are found in many area Farmers’ Markets, grocery stores and restaurants, and through its Good Farm Box, Farm Raiser and Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) programs.

 

 Suzie’s Farm Camps and year-long programs give children and youth the opportunity to experience the wonders of farming though hands-on, farm-based education. Campers become part of the Suzie’s Farm-ily as they tend gardens, care for farm animals, and experience a deeper connection to their food. Campers walk away from camp with a better understanding of how food is grown, increased confidence in themselves as growers, leaders and creators, and many new friends as they build community together.
