Farm to Bay is a tasting event which supports coastal wildlife, education, and sustainability programs at the Living Coast Discovery Center. Now in its eighth year, Farm to Bay is the only local fundraiser held on a national wildlife refuge.

With food and beverage partners and a sold-out crowd, the event features live animal encounters, musical entertainment, and is set against the beautiful backdrop of San Diego Bay. From endangered sea turtles, octopi, eagles, hawks, and more, we provide families the opportunity to get up close to native southern California wildlife. The Living Coast inspires care and exploration of the living Earth by connecting people with coastal animals, plants and habitats.

 In keeping with the Living Coast’s commitment to the environment and sustainability, the event committee has taken the necessary steps toward producing a zero-waste event. Each year, Farm to Bay’s event waste is hand-sorted and composted on-site by a team from Chula Vista Clean and master composters. In 2017, the event committee reported that 88 percent of event waste (385 pounds) was recycled or composted and diverted from landfills – the highest totals ever for the event.
