The San Diego County Farm Bureau developed a directory of San Diego County Farmers and Ranchers who are selling their products directly to consumers. 

The San Diego Food System Alliance compiled two resource libraries:

1) Support - for those who are willing to help and support the food system 2) Resources - for those impacted by COVID-19 and in need of emergency relief

The resources include information for residents, farms and fisheries, food businesses, nonprofits, and food access.
