Local CSA Partnership Serving Encanto Elementary Families To sponsor a seasonal share of fresh locally grown produce for a family in Encanto or to sign up to purchase your own CSA share, please visit Second Chance Youth Garden and email Caelli, at cwright@secondchanceprogram.org with any questions. You can also buy directly from Second Chance Youth Garden’s farm stand at 6145 Imperial Ave, San Diego, 92114 every Thursday from 3-5pm to help keep good food available for all. The farm stand also accepts SNAP EBT. Can’t commit to a CSA share but still want to support? You can make a direct donation to Second Chance Youth Garden here by selecting Youth Garden under Gift Designation. Your donation supports eight-weeks of hands-on urban farming, nutrition classes, and workforce training. Youth earn a weekly stipend and gain job readiness skills.
