About the IRC Land Bank

The International Rescue Committee (IRC) is a non-profit organization dedicated to serving refugees and underserved communities in San Diego. We work with a community of refugee and local resident farmers to grow fresh, organic produce at various farm and garden sites in the area. Many of our farmers grow crops for subsistence; others sell their crops at local farmers’ markets and restaurants.  

The IRC Land Bank is working to connect socially disadvantaged farmers with farmland in nearby communities. These farmers have participated in IRC training programs are in need of more land to expand their new farm businesses.

Whether you have less than a quarter of an acre or multiple acres of land, we’d love to hear from you! We are especially interested in little to no cost opportunities. We will help link a farmer to your property and help facilitate a land lease agreement.  By inviting socially disadvantaged farmers on to your property you will be helping to build self-reliance for underserved populations, keep land in agriculture for future generations, and bring more local fresh, healthy foods to San Diego!
